Schedule

Listen, the FSU football schedule is tough. Is it as tough as some people believe? I’m not sure, but one thing for certain is they have an absolute brutal three game stretch late in the season.

Those three games against Clemson, at NC State and at Notre Dame are going to be extremely physical. The goal is to come out of those games relatively healthy, and a record of 2-1 at the very worst.

Back-to-back road games against Louisville and Miami and are notable. However, he opener against No. 20 Virginia Tech will set the tone for the season.

A win against Virginia Tech will likely see the Noles cruise into Doak South 5-0. A win against Miami likely puts them undefeated heading into its annual showdown with Clemson.

A win there and it’s likely they’d win the ACC Atlantic. A loss against Virginia Tech would certainly put a damper on things much like last season against Alabama.

Boston College after that brutal three game stretch and a week before the Florida game is a sneaky spot too.
