Florida State enters its final five games at 3-4 overall and 1-3 in the ACC after consecutive road losses, including a 43-35 double-overtime defeat at No. 3 Miami and a 44-20 rout at Louisville. The Seminoles have dropped three straight away from home and sit 0-3 in true road contests. Starting running back Ousmane Kromah suffered a season-ending leg injury against Miami, further taxing an offense that has shown inconsistency against Power conference competition. Remaining opponents include a home rivalry date with Clemson, road trips to Pittsburgh and Boston College, NC State, and in-state rival Florida. These factors have shaped trader consensus around a modest total win projection for the Mike Norvell-led squad.
