Here\u2019s a quick comparison.<br \/>\nOver the last two seasons, Alabama has won 8 more games than Florida State.<br \/>\nSince Jimbo Fisher became\u00a0head coach in Tallahassee, the Seminoles have posted a very impressive 78-17 record. That\u2019s 9 losses more than Alabama over that span.<br \/>\nDoes that mean Alabama is going to have an easy time with Florida State Saturday night. Of course not.<br \/>\nThis is truly a matchup of two of the best teams in college football and the Seminoles could win. But, make no mistake, a Florida State win would be an upset.<br \/>\nFor Threaded Fasteners, I\u2019m Randy Kennedy with Nuts and Bolts of the Game.<\/p>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-382339-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/NutsBolts090117.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/NutsBolts090117.mp3\">http:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/NutsBolts090117.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>When you think of Alabama and Florida State in the modern era you think of the two best programs in college football.
