The Florida State Seminoles are entering a pivotal 2025 season under head coach Mike Norvell as they look to erase the stink from last year’s 2-10 season. They will be looking to improve that record against a tough schedule, especially at the beginning and end of the season.
On3’s Pete Nakos believes they have one of the toughest nonconference schedules this season.
“Mike Norvell’s program is coming off a 2-10 season but won’t have a minute to settle into the season,” he said. “The Seminoles host Alabama in Week 1, and quarterback Thomas Castellanos has already sent a warning shot at the Crimson Tide. FSU’s games with East Texas A&M and Kent State are manageable, but the Seminoles close out the year at Florida.”
The good news for the Seminoles is that the ACC portion of their schedule is much more manageable. While they do play the Clemson Tigers and Miami Hurricanes, they avoid the SMU Mustangs and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. They also get to play both Virginia schools, Stanford, and Wake Forest, who are all expected to be among the worst teams in the conference.
