Florida State football finished the 2025 season with a 5-7 record. The year started so promisingly with beating the Alabama Crimson Tide by a score of 31-17. Then the Seminoles stumbled down the stretch, losing seven of the last nine games.
Head football coach Mike Norvell and the squad want to be competing for championships, which should be the standard of this program. The last two seasons have been a disaster, which has caused frustration amongst the fan base.
The Florida State versus Alabama contest was shocking to most individuals. There was even ESPN's Paul Finebaum, who thought the matchup would be a blowout since the Crimson Tide was in the "glorious" SEC.
