Despite holding a 21-14 lead at one point, the Seminoles were defeated in double overtime, 43-35, by the then-No. 3 Miami Hurricanes.
While FSU did not receive any votes in the AP Top 25 after Week 7, just three ACC teams are now ranked. The Miami Hurricanes are at No. 1 after last night's win.
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons have jumped up to No. 17, while the SMU Mustangs are at No. 23. In addition, there are no ACC teams in the "others receiving votes" category as of now.
Miami now has the No. 1 spot after defeating FSU, perhaps shockingly, as they have not defeated a single ranked opponent this season, along with BYU climbing up to No. 2 after defeating then-No. 2 Notre Dame. Ohio State is at No. 3, while Notre Dame and Georgia round out the top
five. The biggest risers, Florida, climbed up 12 spots to No. 20 after taking down Texas. As such, the Longhorns were the biggest fallers, dropping 12 spots to No. 19, still above Florida.
FSU will look to try to break into the top 25 when they welcome the Clemson Tigers (4-2, 2-1 ACC) to Tallahassee on Halloween. They have a chance to get into the "others receiving votes" category if they can take care of business against them. The game will air on ESPN on Saturday, Oct. 31 at a to-be-determined time and network.
