No. 3 Florida State survives late Boston College rally to win 31-29

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! 3 Florida State escaped with a 31-29 victory over Boston College on Saturday and left the field to derisive chants of “Overrated!” The Seminoles won’t have a lofty ranking to mock if they keep this up. “We dug our own hole,” running back Rodney Hill said after Florida State closed with three punts and a fumble, then managed to run out the clock only because BC committed its 18th penalty of the game — a face mask after a third-down stop that would have forced a punt. “That did not happen today.” POLL IMPLICATIONS The unexpectedly close victory over a team that had struggled against non-Power Five opponents won’t impress Associated Press Top 25 voters and could tarnish Florida State’s image as it tries to maintain position for a spot in the College Football Playoff. DISCONCERTING SIGNALS BC committed 11 penalties in the first half alone — seven of them pre-snap, including two for “disconcerting signals,” a delay of game charged against the defense for imitating the snap count.
