For the first time since arguably 2018, Florida State football heads into a season with high expectations that, at the very least, revolve around returning to the ACC Championship game — an accomplishment not seen in Tallahassee since 2014.
The expectations are a result of finishing last season with a 10-3 (5-3 ACC) record and a Cheez-It Bowl victory over the Oklahoma Sooners, with the Seminoles returning a national-best 87% of production this season.
According to DraftKings, Florida State has the 7th best odds to win the 2023 national championship (+1800), behind Georgia (+230), Alabama (+500), Ohio State (+700), Michigan (+900), USC (+1400) and LSU (+1600).
