After missing out on the College Football Playoff last season with a 13-0 record, head coach Mike Norvell and Florida State are aiming to take advantage of an expanded playoff format and once again run the table in the ACC. Jeremy Visser has more.
Two-hundred and sixty-four days ago, Florida State stood atop the ACC, the undefeated champion of a Power Five conference – a near-certain formula for earning a berth in the College Football Playoff.Anyone that followed college football last season knows the story.
And even if things happen as they did for Florida State last season, its place in the playoff won’t be in question. In all, an ACC-high 10 Seminoles were drafted in April, and 14 of Florida State’s 22 regular starters are gone, leaving head coach Mike Norvell with significant gaps to plug on both sides of the line of scrimmage.The Seminoles were active in the transfer portal, landing Uiagalelei to replace Travis, edge rusher Marvin Jones Jr. from Georgia, and Roydell Williams and Malik Benson – a pair of playmakers from Alabama that are primed for bigger roles with Florida State.
This year, it’s Klubnik – now a junior, with a 19-touchdown season as a starter under his belt – and Miami’s Ward, that are expected to pose the biggest challenge to Florida State’s bid for a third straight conference title. The Seminoles enter as the favourite, ranked 10th in the nation in the AP preseason poll, followed by the 14th-ranked Tigers and 19th-ranked Hurricanes.
