Florida State Seminoles are preparing for their first international game against Georgia Tech in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic in Dublin, Ireland, marking the earliest game in the program's history. Under coach Mike Norvell, the team is coming off a 13-0 regular season and an ACC championship, setting high expectations for 2024. FSU returns 73 players, including several All-ACC honorees, and maintains continuity with all 11 on-field coaches from last season. The Seminoles are predicted to remain the top football program in Florida, despite challenges from Miami and other in-state schools. Meanwhile, UCF, after a challenging first season in the Big 12, is looking to rebound with significant additions from the transfer portal. Expectations are high across Florida's FBS schools, with all head coaches returning for the first time in 15 years.
