Florida State football took its first loss of the 2025 season as they fell to the Virginia Cavaliers by a score of 46-38 in double overtime. The defeat was frustrating because it seemed like the Seminoles had momentum heading into the rivalry matchup against Miami.
The loss taught the fan base that expectations might have to be tempered a little bit, from individuals talking about the College Football Playoffs instead of just going 1-0 each week.
Florida State got a huge win in the season opener against Alabama by a score of 31-17. The Crimson Tide looked vulnerable in the hostile Doak Campbell Stadium.
