Florida State is preparing to open its 2026 season against New Mexico State on August 29 at Doak Campbell Stadium. According to ESPN’s Matchup Predictor, the Seminoles could finish the season with a record of 5-7, mirroring the previous year's outcome. The model indicates Florida State is favored to win against New Mexico State but has close matchups against teams like SMU, Clemson, and Pittsburgh. The projected probabilities suggest several games could be competitive, with the Seminoles holding less than a 50% chance of winning in key contests.
