No. 14 Florida State ready for rivalry week after routing FCS Chattanooga

Fourteenth-ranked Florida State started slow, but the Seminoles quickly turned it around and breezed through their tune-up game against FCS Chattanooga, 52-13. The focus shifts to rival Florida, which struggled with its pre-rivalry week cupcake, needing overtime to beat Florida Atlantic.

What the win means for Florida State: The Seminoles finished a third consecutive season with an undefeated home record after making quick work of Chattanooga. While the Seminoles trailed early after a fumble on the opening kickoff, it wasn't long before they had the game in control. The Seminoles lack a marquee win -- and Florida might not provide an opportunity either -- but they still have a solid chance to earn a New Year's Six bowl berth.
