FSU FOOTBALL

Florida State is currently at a 3-0 record with wins over Alabama, East Texas A&M, and Kent State. The Seminoles are showing the nation that they belong in the college football landscape.

The good news is that the eyes will continue to be on the program if they win. However, we can all agree that the logo still carries weight in generating viewership. The Seminoles need the revenue from the conference to get individuals to watch the team.

Florida State will benefit from having Virginia this Friday night, and then Miami for a 7 PM EST kickoff in Doak Campbell Stadium on Saturday, October 4th. This could be a great two-week period for the Seminoles.

BIG NEWS

The ACC made some big news on Monday afternoon, when it announced that the conference will move to nine conference games with at least one non-conference game in the Power Four.

This update isn't the greatest, as having more ACC games isn't the best idea for strength of schedule and possessing more teams in the glorious College Football Playoff. The ACC as a whole is a joke, but it could create a better opportunity for the Seminoles to consistently compete for championships.

The bad news for the arch-rival Miami Hurricanes is that they might never win a conference championship in their program history because they have to deal with even more ACC opponents. It is a shame that they have only been to Charlotte, North Carolina, once since joining the conference over twenty years ago.
