Big things were expected for the Florida State Seminoles this past season. We had them at #6 when we did our Pre-Season predictions. After picking apart two "easy" teams, the Seminoles ran into some trouble in late September. A loss to Oklahoma was almost expected given how high they were thought of coming into the season but losses to Clemson and then Wake Forest almost took the season off rails. FSU got right in the easier part of their schedule as they won five straight games before being upset by Mike London and the Cavs. FSU would finish 9-4 which was well below where they wanted to finish but they did finish up on a positive note. They beat rival Florida for the second time in as many years and also beat Notre Dame in their bowl game to salvage the season. To get an inside perspective on the 2011 season we caught up with Adam Tolliver of Unconquerednoles.com .
