There's nothing that should surprise FSU fans about the preseason AP Top 25 Poll.
FSU wasn't ranked. Not a shock there. FSU got a couple votes. Not really a shock there, even after a 2-10 season. The top four opponents the Seminoles face this season are all ranked in the top 15. Not a shock there. No one can seriously say they didn't expect Miami and Florida to start the season a little overrated.
As for the rest of the schedule. There's not much there, which is why 8-4 is the number that everyone that is bullish on FSU is clinging to.
