Florida State football fans were hoping that the Seminoles would deliver on the field after their 2-10 record last year. The expectation from oddsmakers included a 7.5 over/under win total. This gave individuals cause for concern since the program had to play the likes of Alabama, Miami, Clemson, North Carolina State, and Florida.
College football "analysts" were worried about how head football coach Mike Norvell would respond to the failures of last season, given the high expectations of the program. It isn't as easy to live up to the lofty standards of the 2023 campaign that included a 13-1 record.
