Jimbo Fisher evaluating Florida State's character with championship hopes dashed

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Four years ago to the day Thursday, Florida State learned it wouldn’t play for a conference championship. It lost the following week.

This week, Florida State finds itself in that same position for the first time since 2011, the last season the Seminoles didn’t win the Atlantic Division and play for an ACC championship. A loss to No. 1 Clemson last week dropped them to 7-2 overall and out of the conference and national-championship pictures.

With three games left in the regular season, including the finale at No. 11 Florida, how will the Seminoles respond to a situation only a handful of players on the roster have experienced?
