Florida State Seminoles will play the Ole Miss Rebels in Camping World Stadium on Labor Day. The neutral-site season-opening game on Monday, Sept. 5, at 8:00 p.m. ET, will be televised nationally from Orlando on ESPN.

The Tomahawk Nation staff weighs in on Florida State’s 2016 season opener.

After a seemingly endless offseason, No. 4 FSU opens its 2016 campaign with a neutral-site showdown with No. 11 Ole Miss in Orlando’s Camping World Stadium. Here’s how the Tomahawk Nation staff sees this one playing out:

Ole Miss is very talented; likely the second most talented team on the schedule but the Rebels are also very young and thin at key spots that spell danger vs. this Florida State team. With the limited health of their best edge-setter Fadol Brown, Ole Miss is thin at DE, LB, and young at safety, a terrifying prospect vs. Dalvin Cook behind a veteran offensive line. Chad Kelly is dangerous and so are his very talented wide receivers but they're young at offensive tackle (starting their best guard at LT) and running back. I think the ‘Noles will largely shut down the Ole Miss running game forcing Chad Kelly into unfavorable passing situations vs. Josh Sweat and Demarcus Walker as well as a very talented FSU secondary. Francois will manage the game well and Florida State will ride a healthy Dalvin Cook and an elite defense to the tune of a 24-16 victory over the Rebels of Mississippi.

As always, I'm going to assume the worst when it comes to these big games. I think as much as this Florida State team could be great on defense, the offense could really struggle. The offensive line worries me and you just never know with a young quarterback. If Cook breaks out, I think FSU wins by at least 10. If he is held in check, I think it's a toss up. Oh, and Florida State’s kicking game worries me. I'll go FSU 24, Ole Miss 21.

As the 2016 college football season kicks off, country music superstar Brad Paisley will bring his Country Nation College Tour presented by Frontier Communications to Downtown Orlando. The free concert will be held outside City Hall on September 4. Paisley is the headlining entertainment for college football's season-opening weekend for Ole Miss and Florida State fans, and the Central Florida community, in advance of the Camping World Kickoff game.

One day later, the Rebels and Seminoles will go head-to-head at Camping World Stadium, as part of a blockbuster opening weekend for the 2016 college football season.
