The Seminoles have been very good this season on all fronts and Jameis Winston is making a case for himself as a Heisman candidate and now the team has the chance to finish things off right, as the schedule is not very tough at the end of things and they are coming off of another nice win against Miami. Florida State is coming off of a huge win against the Hurricanes and now they have two wins over top 10 teams with Miami and Clemson and that puts them in great position down the final stretch of the year and Winston has been a huge part of it and he should be in the Heisman conversation by the end of things, as he has over 2,500 yards passing this season with 24 touchdowns and the offense has been very good as well, as the top two rushers have over 600 yards and 390 yards, while the receivers have over 700 receiving yards and 600 yards, including eight and three touchdowns as the top two receivers.
