Florida State

Florida State's Week 0 result is final; the model held its team-strength baseline.

Ashton Daniels and a positive portal class support a rebound, though six returning starters and Alabama plus Florida cap the schedule upside.

What Changed

Reviewed State

The Week 0 game is now final, but the evidence did not clear the threshold for a team-strength adjustment. Current MPR and projected wins therefore remain at the approved baseline.

MPR9.1 → 9.1
Projected Wins6.53 → 6.53
Model update note

Comfortable win but below huge expected margin. Guardrail: Underlying stats prevent larger downgrade.
