Florida State Football: Early game-by-game predictions

Vs. Boston College (W)

Florida State will have its first conference home game against the Boston College Eagles and, if last season is any indication, it should end on a good note for the former.

In 2021, the Eagles fell just short of beating the Seminoles in Chestnut Hill, but that wasn’t until they had allowed FSU to obtain a huge lead. This time around, BC will be heading to Tallahassee while Florida State is desperate to make an impression. Expect a convincing Noles win from this one.

(2-2)

Vs. Wake Forest (L)

To put things delicately, the Demon Deacons were not nice to FSU last season. In a 35-14 loss that included a plethora of turnovers, the Seminoles were dealt what ended up being their worst loss of 2021.

Deacs head coach Dave Clawson and star quarterback Sam Hartman were both integral pieces in the beating down of Florida State then, and they will be this time as well. The Noles may not lose by 21 again, but a disheartening defeat is almost a guarantee, nonetheless.

@ North Carolina State (L)

An in-depth analysis isn’t really a need for this one. The Wolfpack went into Doak Campbell Stadium and downed the Seminoles by two touchdowns last season, and they seemingly did so without even trying.

Now FSU will be visiting them in Raleigh, where they have not prevailed since 2016. If Wake Forest is going to down the Noles on the road, what NC State has in store for them at home the very next week feels almost unimaginable.
