The 2025 Florida State Seminoles football team, led by head coach Mike Norvell, had a wildly inconsistent season, beginning with a stunning upset over #8 Alabama as a double-digit underdog and setting school records for margin of victory and total yards in subsequent blowout wins. The momentum collapsed with four straight losses, including an 0-4 start in ACC play for the first time, with defeats to rivals Miami and Virginia, before a late-season win over Virginia Tech. They finished with a losing record, lost to Florida, and were winless on the road for a second straight season, ultimately declining a Birmingham Bowl bid despite being academically eligible. Individually, Duce Robinson became the first Seminole receiver to top 1,000 yards since 2019 and the program's first Academic All-American in 13 years, while Darrell Jackson Jr. was drafted. Despite the poor record, Norvell was retained for 2026, but the staff saw major changes, including Gus Malzahn retiring and Tim Harris Jr. being promoted to offensive coordinator.
