How Far The Mighty Have Fallen: Florida State's Team Total On Saturday Is 7.5 Points

Let me take you all back to Monday, August 12th of this very year. I'm not sure if that seems like just yesterday, or if it feels like an eternity to you, but the fact of the matter is that it was precisely 87 days ago. Less than 3 months from this very shit I'm taking while I write this in my Notes App, Florida State opened up as the #10 college football team in the entire country. Now, we all know preseason rankings are ultimately predicated on what you return and how you did last season, so I'm not saying this was factual (clearly not), but the Seminoles were coming off an undefeated regular season and weren't expected to drop off THAT bad.

....and we all know what's happened from there:

Folks, it's not just that they're 1-8. How about the fact that they're the ONLY TEAM IN THE COUNTRY to have not scored more than 21 points ALL SEASON? It's literally unfathomable how bad they've been this season. I mean, history is on the line on Saturday vs. Notre Dame:

This would have to go down as perhaps the most embarrassing college football season in the history of the sport, no? 13-0 to what looks to be 2-10, pending their ability to beat Charleston Southern in a few weeks. But the good news for the Seminoles is the games have to be played on the field, not on paper. And while it seems like the odds may be stacked against them according to the writers….well, actually the odds are stacked against them according to the sportsbooks as well. Forget the 26 points that DraftKings (#DKPartner) is giving them for the spread….how about the TEAM TOTAL being 7.5?

That's actually fucking nuts. The defending ACC Champions, who whined all offseason about how they deserved a playoff spot, whose players worked out all summer with anger in their hearts to prove everyone wrong, is more likely to score less than 7.5 than to score 8 points on Saturday? Oh how the mighty have fallen. It's quite literally unbelievable how bad this team has become.
