The word “elite” is rarely associated with teams that check in at the season’s midpoint with a 3-3 record. And that’s right where the Seminoles find themselves halfway through the 2018 campaign.

Across all 130 FBS teams, Florida State is currently tied for 10th in the country with 19 sacks. Also at 19 through six games? Alabama. And it’s not like FSU has blown through a bunch of cupcakes in compiling its sack total.
