The Big Lead: Take Florida State to cover vs New Mexico State in Week 0 game
Matt De Lima writes: "New Mexico
State went 2-10 last season and the Aggies project to be among the bottom teams in the country. Tallahassee needs a fast start in Week 0 before SMU arrives on Labor Day, and this roster has the talent to name its score. The line is big, but the gap between these teams is bigger.

Bill Speros writes: "Mike Norvell owns a permanent spot on the College Football Coaching Hot Seat. His Noles are 7-18 over 25 games. The ACC remains incredibly competitive — just within the State of Florida. The Noles began the last 4 of their past 5 seasons against Notre Dame, LSU, Boston College, and Alabama. This year, it's back to New Mexico State. Offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn retired. But the Noles nabbed QB Ashton Daniels from Auburn. This glorified scrimmage should help set the Noles in the right direction. Group of Five teams can be treacherous, especially early in the season. The Aggies force turnovers. You'll sweat this one either way."
