Florida State Seminoles face critical season ahead of Alabama matchup
Summary

The Florida State Seminoles, led by head coach Mike Norvell, prepare for a challenging 2026 season. After a disappointing 2025 finish with a 5-7 record, FSU returns only two offensive starters. The Seminoles have a storied history with Alabama, including a notable loss to them in the previous season. With a mix of returning players and new recruits, the Seminoles' early games will be pivotal as they seek to improve from last year's struggles. Their performance will be monitored closely as they aim for a better showing against the Crimson Tide on September 19, 2026.
