FSU football faces challenges with tough schedule and back-to-back losing seasons
Summary

Florida State football has entered a difficult phase ahead of the 2026 season, facing back-to-back losing campaigns. Athlon Sports provided an analysis indicating that head coach Mike Norvell's tenure is in jeopardy as the team struggles to remain competitive in the ACC. The Seminoles look to break a losing streak outside Doak Campbell Stadium and will face Alabama in their second game after hosting SMU. Norvell has yet to secure a top quarterback transfer, which may hinder their prospects this season. FSU's 2026 season begins against New Mexico State on August 29 at home.
