At approximately noon today, the Florida State football program will find out just what coaches across the country think of it entering the 2016 season. That’s when the USA Today’s preseason Coaches Poll will be released— and we’ll have it here when it drops. Most expect the ‘Noles to be somewhere around the top five; given the historically conservative nature of the voting in this poll, it’d be quite shocking if the ‘Noles were ranked any higher than third. Last year’s national championship finalists, Alabama and Clemson, both figure to begin ahead of Florida State. But where have the Seminoles been in this initial poll as of late?

Here’s a look at where the Seminoles have started in the Jimbo Fisher era:

2015: No. 8

2014: No. 1

2013: No. 12

2012: No. 7

2011: No. 5

2010: No. 20

So, where should FSU be in this year’s first Coaches Poll?

Update

FSU starts the season ranked fourth behind Alabama, Clemson, and Oklahoma. FSU was also one of four teams to receive a first-place vote, tied with #10 Tennessee.

The ACC has four teams in the poll (#2 Clemson, #4 FSU, #20 North Carolina, #23 Louisville), with Miami sitting at #26 from the well-known Richt bump.

For reference, here are the voters contributing to the poll:
