Florida State football started the 2025 season with a 3-0 record with a huge victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide by a score of 31-17. Since they defeated Alabama, there was a portion of individuals who thought the Seminoles could be serious College Football Playoff contenders.
Florida State got the chance to play East Texas A&M and Kent State at home before traveling to the Virginia Cavaliers in a weird Friday night road tilt in Charlottesville. This was a game that the fan base had circled because it had the potential to be scary.
The Seminoles looked out of sync all night, but they mounted a comeback to ensure that the game went to overtime.
