Florida Football Confidence Meter Week 13: FSU
- Last season: FSU won 45-38
- HFH Confidence Meter Preseason: 55%
- HFH Confidence Meter Last Week: 45%
- HFH Confidence Meter Presently: 50%
After its near escape against Boston College, one could chalk the game up as a one-off poor performance.
But in back-to-back weeks, FSU has survived because the other team screwed up.
Against the Eagles, it was a missed extra point, along with 18 Boston College penalties, that helped FSU survive.
Against Clemson, it was the Tigers having to rely on a dude who should have been in a New York high-rise doing business deals to make a 29-yard field goal.
FSU has a super soft schedule the rest of the way, but they have not looked impressive since their opening night win over LSU.
