Checking in on Florida State's Bowl Projections in Week 11
There are still three games remaining in the regular-season but Florida State has already qualified for the postseason for the first time since 2019. The Seminoles have won two straight contests by a combined margin of 86-19, including a 45-3 victory at Miami where the team didn't surrender a touchdown. With star defensive tackle Fabien Lovett back in the fold and starting running back Treshaun Ward expected to suit up on Saturday night against Syracuse, it feels like the team is getting healthy at the right time.
