Florida State will have plenty of questions to answer early on, but a favorable schedule should benefit the Seminoles through the first month of the season. The Seminoles have improved their record in each of coach Mike Norvell’s four seasons with the program. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see this squad make a run to another ACC championship and the College Football Playoff, especially with the field being increased to 12 teams.

Head coach Mike Norvell faces the tough task of replacing one of the best quarterbacks in program history (Jordan Travis). The Seminoles also lost their leading rusher (Trey Benson), top two wide receivers (Keon Coleman, Johnny Wilson) and most productive tight end (Jaheim Bell).
