FSU jumps to No. 16 in AP and coaches' poll


FSU jumps to No. 16 in AP and coaches' poll Tallahassee Democrat: "Dekoda Watson was hoping that Florida State had played well enough to rank No. 18 in the latest national polls. His Seminoles did better than that in jumping up to No. 16 in both the USA Today coaches poll and the Associated Press poll."

That’s great news,” Watson said. “I am very happy. We’re trying to bring it back. … The good thing about it is it doesn’t have to stop here. We can keep it going and that’s what we plan to do.”
It is the highest ranking for the Seminoles since being ranked ninth against Clemson on Sept. 16, 2006.
“It’s been a little while,” offensive lineman Rodney Hudson said. “We feel good about it but we got to keep working…”

Twenty-seven games had passed since FSU was one of three ACC schools ranked in the top 25.
North Carolina is No. 22 and Maryland is No. 25. Tech is the first among teams outside of the top 25 receiving votes in the USA Today poll.
