According to the news company, SP+ is a “tempo and opponent-adjusted measure of college football efficiency … simply a measure of the most sustainable and predictable aspects of football.” <a href="https://www.si.com/college/fsu/florida-state-seminoles-college-football/florida-state-football-marching-chiefs-release-statement-on-war-chant-scale-back-" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> FSU </a> finds itself ranked #34 after Week 2, the highest-ranked 0-2 team according to the model. <a href="https://www.si.com/college/fsu/florida-state-seminoles-college-football/mike-norvell-provides-injury-updates-on-a-pair-of-florida-state-seminoles-hykeem-williams-shawn-murphy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> READ MORE: FSU Football Requested Marching Chiefs To Stop War Chant On Third Down </a><figure><a href="https://www.si.com/college/fsu/florida-state-seminoles-college-football/florida-state-football-still-in-top-35-in-espn-sp-rankings-after-dreadful-start-2024?utm_source=RSS" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=4E1xkZ_0vR0pLgq00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4E1xkZ_0vR0pLgq00" width="640" height="360" ></a><figcaption>Mike Norvell Speaks After FSU's Loss To Boston College </figcaption></figure><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> In fact, the ’ <a href="https://www.si.com/college/fsu/florida-state-seminoles-in-the-pros/former-fsu-football-star-receives-massive-extension-jalen-ramsey-miami-dolphins" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Noles </a> are the only 0-2 team in the top 90 with the 0-2 Houston Cougars taking the 91st spot.

However, if FSU doesn’t take care of business on its own end, it will not matter either way. With SMU, Clemson, and Miami still on the schedule, the hardest parts of the Seminoles’ season are ahead of them. With the bye week to prepare, the ’Noles will look to bounce back against head coach Mike Norvell’s old team in the Memphis Tigers at noon on Saturday. It feels as though regardless of who Florida State plays each weekend, a sudden revival of physicality, effort, and morale will be necessary for an addition to the win column – something FSU hasn’t experienced since Dec. 2 in Charlotte at the ACC Championship Game. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> After Memphis, the Seminoles will remain in the Sunshine State’s capital when they face the California Golden Bears in an attempt to get their first conference win of the season. <hr><div style="position:relative;width:100%; height:0; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><iframe allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox" scrolling="no" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/m-XCUzAcBOI?feature=oembed" style="width:100%; height:100%;top:0; left:0; position:absolute"></iframe></div><a href="https://www.si.com/college/fsu/florida-state-seminoles-college-football/fsu-football-has-a-decision-to-make-at-quarterback-whether-mike-norvell-likes-it-or-not-dj-uiagalelei-brock-glenn-luke-kromehoek" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> READ MORE: FSU Football Has A Decision To Make At Quarterback - Whether Mike Norvell Likes It Or Not </a> Stick with NoleGameday for more <a href="https://www.si.com/college/fsu/" rel="nofollow"> FREE coverage of Florida State </a> Football throughout the 2024 season <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> Follow NoleGameday on and <a href="https://twitter.com/NoleGameday" rel="nofollow"> Twitter </a> , <a href="https://www.facebook.com/NoleGameday/" rel="nofollow"> Facebook </a> , <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nolegameday/" rel="nofollow"> Instagram </a> , and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@nolegameday?lang=en" rel="nofollow"> TikTok </a><h2> More Florida State News </h2> • <a href="https://www.si.com/college/fsu/florida-state-seminoles-college-football/one-fan-arrested-three-ejected-in-heartbreaking-fsu-football-loss-to-boston-college-" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> One Fan Arrested, Three Ejected in Heartbreaking FSU Football Loss to Boston College </a> • <a href="https://www.si.com/college/fsu/florida-state-seminoles-college-football/espn-analyst-predicts-disastrous-season-for-fsu-football-following-0-2-start-2024" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> ESPN Analyst Predicts Disastrous Season for FSU Football Following 0-2 Start </a> • <a href="https://www.si.com/college/fsu/florida-state-seminoles-college-football/three-thoughts-on-florida-state-football-demeaning-loss-to-boston-college-2024" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Three Thoughts On Florida State's Demeaning Loss To Boston College </a> • <a href="https://www.si.com/college/fsu/florida-state-seminoles-college-football/florida-state-drops-out-of-ap-top-25-poll-after-winless-start-2024" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Florida State Drops Out Of AP Top 25 Poll After Winless Start </a> This article was originally published on www.si.com/college/fsu as <a href="https://www.si.com/college/fsu/florida-state-seminoles-college-football/florida-state-football-still-in-top-35-in-espn-sp-rankings-after-dreadful-start-2024?utm_source=RSS" rel="nofollow"> Florida State Football Still In Top-35 In ESPN SP+ Rankings After Dreadful Start </a> . </div></body>
