Florida State football tops ACC Preseason Poll
Release from Florida State Sports Information
Coming off a 13-0 regular season and the 16th ACC championship in program history, Florida State topped the ACC preseason football poll, earning 81 of 170 first-place votes taken during last week’s ACC Kickoff in Charlotte.
Led by head coach Mike Norvell – the reigning Dodd Trophy and Bryant Award winner as the nation’s best coach – Florida State returns two All-Americans, nine all-conference players and the ACC Championship Game MVP after earning the seventh undefeated regular season and third 13-win season in program history in 2023. Last year’s team finished sixth in the country, FSU’s best finish since 2014, which was also the Noles last 13-win campaign.
FSU’s 16 ACC championships are the most since joining the ACC in 1992, while the Seminoles’ 10 undefeated regular seasons in that span are more than the rest of the conference combined (seven).
The two teams with the highest conference winning percentage will meet in the ACC Championship Game at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte on December 7.
Florida State will open the season August 24 at 12:00 PM ET in Dublin, Ireland, for the Aer Lingus College Football Classic against Georgia Tech on ESPN.
