Something negative almost always happens to a team after having a big season. Either a new coaching staff like you mentioned. Success like that usually leads to bigger opportunities for the coach, and he moves on. Everytime I see a MAC or SBC coach win 10 or 11 games, they are usually gone the next year. Also teams like Mizzou and FSU lost too many starters from last year. The chemistry just isn't the same from last year. But the expectations from the public don't change until they start losing money. Auburn is the only one of those 5 teams that basically hasn't changed much from last season. But their problem is they are now expected to win their games. Last year they were the dogs in most of their games. They are still doing a little better than I thought they would. Mainly because they have a great coaching staff and offense. But they still stand at only .500 ATS for the season. In the long run, I save money by staying away from these DD ATS winners from last year, unless as I mentioned I start seeing them fall out of favor with the public...The moral of the story is like Lou Holtz used to say. He never got the same team twice. They all change from year to year.
Not sure what lines will be put on this game BUT I don't feel FSU will win out on season...Miami will win and FL has decent shot against FSU...unless FSU just dominates VA this week, Miami will be a 1 to 2 point fav against FSU and every tout, square , and their brothers will take the bait on FSU + any points and Miami wins and covers and Vegas and Offshores clean up!!! FWIW...
