JD’s shirt looks like he has it on backwards GBR 🔴⚪️

[@jackedvette8258]

“Built like a Bionicle” . That’s hard imma steal that saying I like that 😤😂😂. I used to love that game

[@Noles58]

Mike Norvell is the Portal King when you consider he is not a Big10 or SEC coach. With things being what they are, there is no respect for ACC teams, just sayin after what happened in the CFP last season.

[@hgfghfhfg]

There is a reason for that

[@stweasel]

Lol, he's good, but king 🤴? If you have to exclude half of the power conferences... then he is not.... Portal Duke? Portal Baron, Portal Count, Portal Marquis?

[@SurferRC]

@@hgfghfhfgbias is the reason. Facts say acc is the second best conference by EVERY metric that has the sec at #1…

[@rickrhoden1]

All good teams pitch culture, development, etc., so LSU, Auburn are no better or different. That's the disingenuous part of Kelly's talk.

[@TheDrRJP]

YEs, FSU is underrated because sports writers are focusing only on who they lost from their roster and not on who they picked up from the portal, from the high school ranks and developed all of them in the off season. FSU does the best job of evaluating players and developing them to play on Sundays is nothing short of remarkable!

[@ColtJohnson-ld1xd]

lol

[@hgfghfhfg]

They are overrated, just not as much as last year

[@stweasel]

Lol DJ is a huge drop in performance. He is the posterboy of not maximizing talent.

[@jdtheguitartist]

Best? 63-3

[@RobertThames-zone6]

😂😂 u act like their the only team to lose players. But to sit here and say that their the BEST at evaluating and developing talent is a joke. You must have been living under a rock these past couple of years. Have you ever heard of KIRBY SMART, Glenn Schuman, Todd Hartley and co.

[@djhmrtime6636]

I don’t see how my vols go to Athens and come out with a W, but all our other games are surely winnable with consistency from Nico and both front lines. The trenches will determine if we are 11-1 or 9-3

[@SurferRC]

Sec and acc need to move to 9-10 conference games! Bye week cupcakes in november is ridiculous

[@HunterFountain24]

J.D. PicKell inspires me to try to get into sports content creation. He is by far one of the best in the game. That's just my opinion though. I always enjoy tuning into his content. @On3sports

[@jamesb0255]

Preseason predictions, especially in college football are just ridiculous. As a 42-year FSU fan and 21-year booster I could care less where we are rated in May. Besides I would rather talk trash after the season when we win the ACC and is one of the top four teams in the playoffs.

[@NOLES-wm3ly]

It’s cbs & espn that’s underrating FSU. Not Vegas 😊

[@Nonyabizzness305]

Them early odds change so much that they don't mean nothing till 2 weeks from the game because injuries and all kinds of circumstances will change them theyare a great conversation peice

[@midwestslim]

Just like the SEC is kissing up to Tx. and OU when allow them to come into the conference , as members without being members (don't touch my roster).

[@wlthomas8]

On3 host personalities are gonna stop doing shows with Andy. Lol. Earlier this week, Andy had Dukes backpeddling his Deion take, and now he has JD backpeddling his Kelly spitting bars take.

[@tylerharrison7995]

Go Vols

[@deandresmith8521]

Difference between UGA'S L to Bama and FSU's L to UGA is UGA played for a trip to the CFP. FSU played for "bragging rights". Truth hurts

[@seminoldschool7032]

😂😂I don’t think he meant underrated by the Vegas experts…pretty sure he meant they’re intentionally being underrated by eSECpn & On3 LSU lost more than FSU on offense, did not improve their defense, lost to FSU for the 2nd straight year (by 4 scores) yet is somehow once again “ranked” higher than FSU in every eSECpn affiliated preseason poll…which is really just fucking ridiculous lol

[@SurferRC]

Exactly

[@Herb___]

DJU only elite at the golden coral. That boy is a DE who is afraid of the trenches. 😂

[@richardbrookins5406]

Then why don't you take your a$$ up against him and see. I would pay to watch that.

[@eastknox865]

FSU 63-3 happened so don't act like it didn't

[@jdtheguitartist]

DJ U is overrated. His completion % looking like a batting average

[@user-ot2in8kc1l]

Georgia will lose 3 games this season. Schedule is not as weak as last year.

[@tannerjones6564]

They'll go undefeated or lose 1 game. Too loaded and have the best coaching staff in college football

[@hgfghfhfg]

why do they have the best odds then? they are better than your team

[@ripdolph9138]

😂😂😂😂 wtf are you smoking

[@blakenagy8399]

It's about time they actually have to play Bama in the regular season. To bad for the Dawgs and tide, they'll no longer be the sweethearts of the sec now that Texas is in.

[@RobertThames-zone6]

Lmao and who is your college football team sir?

[@Muddywaters696]

Fsu is overrated winning the acc doesn't mean you're good

[@Noles58]

I guess all those NFL drafts mean your not good as well

[@hgfghfhfg]

Those nfl draft picks didn't have to play much competition. you get drafted higher if you are better than your competition.

[@Noles58]

@@hgfghfhfg The NFL is about business and making money. Their assessments are metric based and not homerish, emotion laden decisions

[@blakenagy8399]

10 draft picks says they were good.

[@SurferRC]

@@hgfghfhfgfalse acc is second best by every metric that has sec at 1…learn something before you speak 🤡😂🤦🏼‍♂️🤡

[@palmbeachcane9523]

FS💩 is overrated and they didn’t improve the talent compared to what they lost. DJU isn’t even close to Travis. They have 1 player that started last season. Example Malik Benson 13 catches,Jalen Brown 0,Hykeem Williams 5,Lawrence 0,Jacob’s 8,Hill 6 catches last season that’s 33 catches combined last season. Miami has X 85,George 57,Brown 62 & Horton 13 that’s 217 catches last season and over 2700 yards. Mikey doesn’t have 5 years to develop these players. Georgia Tech beats them in game 1 because they are bringing back 80% of their team last season and Karen State is like 85th in returning players.

[@EdD-it1zs]

You've done lost your mind. All those guys you mentioned were useless when they played Florida State. Florida State has taken guys with no production and turned them into all conference. DJ U will have his best season and last seasons DJ U on Oregon State wipes the floor with last seasons Miami and your defense has regressed. FSU is a complete team with an elite secondary to compliment an elite defense. Gonna have a top pass defense in the country. FSU running back room is elite. FSU O line will be better than last season, returning all but one guy and picking up some huge interior O line guys. There may be some growing pains in the offensive passing game but guys are gonna get the opportunity to make plays. This is Mike Norvell's most blue chips, most talented roster to date. Georgia Tech Pleather Jackets 🧥 is gonna catch a beat down, something you guys couldn't do. I still remember all those nerds rushing the field when they beat you. I mean straight up nerds crusted your drawers 💩. Still till this day those nerds left you with a stripe 💩 straight down the center of your a$$, it's called post game crusty drawers 💩. Those Georgia Tech north avenue nerds best the sh!t 💩 out these Cryami 😢 boys.

[@palmbeachcane9523]

@@EdD-it1zs FS💩 beat Miami by 7 points at home against 6 true freshman starters and a true freshman qb with his second start. Name 1 true freshman starter that played against Miami. Should have beat Miami by 48-3 & beat a real team last season. LSU lost 3 games & that was your biggest win when everyone in the playoffs played a top ten team & some played then twice. Oh wait you did play a top ten team 63-3 you proved you were not deserving to be in the playoffs. Our defense is better & offense is better this year and Fifth Spot U took 2 steps back.

[@EdD-it1zs]

@@palmbeachcane9523 Miami Florida State is a rivalry game. It should never be a blowout. FSU did beat Miami twice though, as you were so beat down by Florida State you went on to lose the next week. Two teams in the playoffs lost, one of them lost to a 16 ranked team with their QB1 and starters and got put in the final 4 to play the number 2 team while Florida State beat a 14 ranked team in the ACC Championship game with it's third string quarterback only giving up 6 points to a team that averaged over 30. FSU got screwed. I watched your spring game. Your defensive back personnel and edge guys didn't look all that. I'm pretty sure your defense will take a step back. Your offense should be the same or improved, but it won't be able to do anything against an elite pass defense like FSU. As far as the playoff decision, when the committee rendered their judgement they said all Florida State's games were meaningless. So why would a bowl scrimmage be a game that's supposed to mean something? Alabama and Texas ended up being playoff chumps. Georgia lost. Alabama lost. Texas lost. Florida State went undefeated 13-0 and Georgia never played that undefeated regular season team. Preseason Miami is currently unranked. Hmm 🤔. I hope y'all get your 💩 together I want you to be undefeated when you play us. Most likely you'll be 5-2 or 4-3 or something.

[@palmbeachcane9523]

@@EdD-it1zs A 7 point win is a beat down? 😂😂😂😂. So what will be your excuse when Miami curb stops you this season? Your superstars are all gone and the replacement players aren’t even close to what left. Travis > DJ💩,Benson > replacement,Coleman and Wilson > replacements,Verse & Fiske >replacement,Bell > replacement and that’s the ones I know. On Miami Ward much better than TVD,Martinez much better than Chaney & Parrish combined,Brown much better than Young,CJ Clark & Barrow much better than Hunt and Taylor,Alderman better than Flagg do you see the trend? Never mind you support a state school where my dog can get a diploma. 💩💩💩💩😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🙌🙌🙌🙌
