Florida State sits 37th in ESPN FPI as it prepares for Alabama

Florida State ranks No. 37 in the latest ESPN Football Power Index as it heads into Week 3. The Seminoles, carrying a rating of 7.7, are set to face No. 7 Alabama in a road matchup after a Week 2 bye. Having dropped from No. 28 at the preseason, their ranking has declined following a win over New Mexico State and a loss to SMU. Currently, ESPN projects Florida State to finish the season between 5.7 and 6.4 wins, with a slim 52.6% chance to achieve six victories. The team's chances of winning the ACC sit at just 0.4% and the College Football Playoff probability is at 1.4%.
