FSU will now be turning its attention the Louisville Cardinals as the team prepares for a shot at an ACC Championship for the first time in nine years. The Cardinals were upset by Kentucky in their regular season finale.

FSU has won 18 straight games dating back to last season, the third-longest winning streak in the nation and the second-longest winning streak in program history. The Seminoles completed their seventh perfect regular season ever with the win over Florida.

Louisville finished 10-2 under first-year head coach Jeff Brohm. The Cardinals have a strong running game, productive front seven, and a veteran quarterback who has been able to manage the game effectively.
