The Florida State Seminoles are in their final bye week of the 2025 season, sitting at home with a 3-4 overall record and ranked 16th out of 17 programs in the ACC conference.
With this week’s coaching drama now in the rear-view mirror, at least for now, Florida State football fans can sit back and watch how other teams handle the pressure of being in the hunt for a conference championship, and a possible CFP birth.
The bye week also allows Nole fans to scout FSU’s future opponents. This open game
thread will be available this weekend for you to discuss any of the games being played, scout our future opponents’ weaknesses, and discuss how the Seminoles can exploit and dominate them on the way to an 8-4 final regular season record and an invitation to the Arby’s Bowl.
