If we analyze all the raw and advanced stats, 2025 FSU is light-years better than the 2024 version, but it only has three more wins to show for it.
There’s no question it’s a better team overall. The offensive line is better. They have a go-to receiver in Duce Robinson. They have a solid running game, and the FSU defense is only allowing 20 ppg on average.
On a down-to-down basis, FSU is one of the better teams in college football. However, it’s when they face the critical situations that they fold like a wet T-shirt. The NC State game was a prime example.
