FSU football will be looking to live up to expectations in 2023. We give our top 10 BOLD season predictions for the Noles.

Notice the word BOLD for these FSU football season predictions, so they are supposed to be out of the ordinary. Last year’s graded version can be read here.

The expectations for FSU football were to win the ACC and make the College Football Playoffs in 2023. Of course, FSU got robbed of that opportunity.

Most folks thought the offense would be the unit to carry the day, but it was the defense that carried FSU in most games this year.

The Noles battled all types of adversity. They trailed in several games at halftime, had to play on the road at Clemson in overtime, had to overcome an injury to Jordan Travis, had to play without Robert Scott and Bless Harris at tackle for most of the season, had to start a freshman QB in the ACCCG, and finished the season with a banged up receivers unit.
