24. Florida State Seminoles

Florida State is a serious dark horse in the ACC this year. The 4-0 Noles don’t have a truly impressive win other than over Big South favorite Winthrop, but that should diminish what this team is doing early. Watch their next two games against Temple and Minnesota to see if they are the real deal.

The duo of Dwayne Bacon (17.5 points, 3.8 rebounds) and Xavier Rathan-Mayes (9.5 points, 5.5 assists) are as lethal of a duo as the ACC might try to contain this season.

10 FSU players are averaging at least six points an evening right now, but Jonathan Isaac has been the early stud. The 6’10” freshman is contributing 9.8 points and 5.8 boards per game, and is hitting 47 percent of his threes. Keep an eye on this balanced Seminole attack.
