Very accurate thread title. It's like deja vu for Jimbo Fisher since he led Florida State into the 2017 season with high expectations as well until they lost to Alabama in the opener and also lost their starting QB for the season. Fisher could not find an adequate replacement there either and their season was basically over at that point.

Great article as usual. Since 2016 every NC winner has a QB now starting in the NFL. Sure, you need talent around them, but even many of the playoff losers have qb’s starting in the NFL. Does five years a trend make?
