Ranking FSU's Remaining Games

As we close the first quarter of the season, we'll take a look at the road ahead for the Seminoles. Louisville, Georgia Tech, and even Clemson have not been as good as advertised so far, but we will learn a lot about Clemson in the next couple weeks as they host both Notre Dame and Georgia Tech in back-to-back weekends. Let's take a look at the Seminoles' remaining games in order of difficulty:

Watch Guide: Week 4

Sean took a two game lead last week by getting lucky with Northwestern and Ole Miss. This week will give us a series of matchups that will define the Pac-12 landscape along with a few other intriguing games. Let's take a look.

#3 TCU (3-0) @ Texas Tech (3-0) 4:45 FOX
TCU has bounced back since its near-upset in week one but it's defense was suspect last week vs. SMU giving up 508 yards and 37 points. The Red Raiders on the other hand had a nice win over the consistently most overrated team in the nation, Arkansas. Tech is averaging the 3rd most passing yards in the nation and TCU stands at 8 - this game should be hella-entertaining.
Who to root for and why: Texas Tech because Gary Patterson is the second biggest jerk in college football (Harbaugh) and this would be a huge upset, helping FSU's distant playoff chances.

The Return of the Running Backs

When I approach drafting a fantasy team nowadays I look to draft wide receivers more than I do running backs, and honestly it's weird. When I first started doing fantasy football, running backs were all the rage as there seemed to be an abundance of game-changers like LaDainian Tomlinson, Priest Holmes, Larry Johnson, the Tennessee Chris Johnson, Maurice Jones-Drew, a young Adrian Peterson, and I mean the list goes on and on. If you had two of these running backs, your team was stacked and had a good shot of winning the title. Now, there are very few elite running backs and this can be attributed to the college game becoming more spread offense oriented which has ultimately led the NFL to become a pass-happy league. Another issue is the lack of legit running backs coming from the college ranks, but all I have to say is that it will change very soon as the running backs in college football are the most talented group of running backs in a long time. Here are some of the backs that will hopefully bring the running back position's importance back to the NFL.

Paul Perkins, UCLA Jr., 5'11 210 lbs
2015: 58 carries, 429 yards, 7.4 YPC, 3 TD

Perkins smiles after the reporter asks if he misses Brett Hundley.

What Sunday Means for Jameis and the Bucs

In his college and professional careers to date, Jameis Winston has never lost to a team lead by someone other than Marcus Mariota. The Rose Bowl was especially painful but let's take a look at just how kryptonite-y he who shall not be named is to Superman Jameis Winston and his team whenever they play each other.

Against That Kid From Hawaii, Jameis and his team committed 7 turnovers and gave up 474 yards per game along with 50.5 points per game. Winston himself has not been himself as well despite an underrated Rose Bowl performance. Let's take a look:

Stat                                    Jameis vs Mariota (Avg)    vs Literally Everyone Else
Completion Percentage:          58%                                           78.5%  
Touchdowns:                         3 (1.5)                                       64 (2.28)
