FSU is in within high esteem across the discipline, especially in regards to methods, public opinion, experimental work, and IR. Also it is a top 25 program by several rankings, and has the pedigree that will be able to get you a good job. You will all soon realize that the rankings of a department, even a top 5, will have little effect on your ability to place after graduation. Your ability to come out of school with a publication, write an interesting dissertation, and your competence at presenting your research in froint of an academic firing squad is all that matters. In short go to a program, keep your head down, work hard, take advice, and learn, and you will be a success. Keep in mind that the dropout rate is 50% for a PhD.
