We wrote in early July that if FSU couldn’t win eight games on this 2025 schedule, it would be a huge problem. We knew FSU was a huge underdog in the season opener against Alabama, but felt they should win the next three. Miami is almost always overrated, so there’s that. Clemson and Alabama were the only games that we felt were likely absolute losses.
Well, FSU knocked off Alabama fairly easily, and Clemson doesn’t look like the team we thought they were through two games. FSU doesn’t play them until later in the year, so they have some time to figure things out, but it’s a road game at Clemson.
