2024 Team Breakdowns: Florida State Seminoles

By Luke Brumm

Conference: ACC 

2023 Record: 13-1

Head Coach: Mike Norvell

Key Player: EDGE Patrick Payton 

Recruiting Class Ranking: 12th

Top Games: Clemson, @ Miami, @ Notre Dame, Florida

After a season where many thought the Seminoles were snubbed of a playoff spot, they look poised to make it there in 2024. I have them as my ACC favorites and their chances of a playoff birth increased with the new 12-team format. Mike Norvell continues to recruit well in both high school and the portal, as their new QB is former Clemson Tiger, DJ Uiagalelei. He comes after the overhaul that took place at Oregon State.

Uiagalelei will look to lead his new team over his old team and will also look to avenge his loss in 2020 to Notre Dame. Rivals Miami and Florida are also waiting for their shot. FSU will look to be a force again this season and finally make the CFP again.
