FSU's FPI Outlook and Tough Early Schedule | Florida State Seminoles Football News

Florida State opens the season ranked 28th nationally with a 9.3 FPI score, fifth in the ACC behind Miami, Clemson, SMU, and Louisville — and the model projects a 7-5 record with a 71% chance of winning at least six games. After back-to-back losing seasons, bowl eligibility is the key goal for coach Mike Norvell’s seventh year. They kick off against unranked New Mexico State (129th, -15.7 rating), who are projected for just 4 wins, in a matchup that’ll likely be a blowout — FSU won 36-0 back in 1964. The real test begins quickly: SMU on Labor Day, then a road trip to Alabama after a bye. Can the Seminoles turn things around?
