Rankings from AP Poll

The 2023 Florida State Seminoles football team represented Florida State University in the Atlantic Coast Conference during the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Seminoles were led by Mike Norvell, in his fourth year as their head coach. The Seminoles played home games at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida.

Looking to build on the success of the 2022 season, Florida State started strong with a win against LSU. The Seminoles would go undefeated in the regular season; however, during the game against North Alabama, senior quarterback Jordan Travis suffered a season-ending injury, marking the end of his college football career.[1] Florida State would go on to win the ACC Championship Game against Louisville. Travis was named ACC Offensive Player of the Year and ACC Player of the Year while Norvell was named ACC Coach of the Year.[2] Despite winning the ACC title and finishing 13–0, Florida State was No. 5 in the final College Football Playoff rankings, which made them the first undefeated Power Five conference team not selected for the College Football Playoff (first contested following the 2014 FBS season), with the Southeastern Conference champions Alabama and Big 12 Conference champions Texas (both 12–1) selected ahead of the Seminoles.[3] Florida State was instead invited to the Orange Bowl against Georgia, where they would lose to the Bulldogs following multiple player opt-outs and transfers. Following this exclusion, the university’s Board of Trustees initiated legal action against the ACC, challenging the conference’s Grant of Rights.[4] Defensive end Jared Verse would go on to be drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft[5] along with nine other Seminoles selected in the draft,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] while three others signed as undrafted free agents.
