Inside the box score: FSU 73, Purdue 72

Melina Myers-USA TODAY Sports The win over No. 19 Purdue pushed FSU’s record to 6-1. They’ve accomplished this while playing the 23rd most difficult schedule in the nation, and the 3rd most difficult amongst high major teams. Compare that to last year’s out of conference SOS which was 330th. With Purdue as the only game this week, FSU should at worst remain in the top-15 nationally in the AP Poll. The only voter who didn’t include FSU in the most recent poll was Duke alumnus John Feinstein, who for years has used his voting membership to be a troll. In the week prior he had Florida State at No. 13, and dropped FSU out of the poll after a 2-1 week which included a close neutral site loss to Nova (his No. 19 team) and a win over a ranked LSU team.
