Mike Norvell had a busy offseason with the transfer portal. Now that Jordan Travis is in the NFL, Norvell signed DJ Uiagalelei to run the Seminoles’ offense.

Behind Uiagalelei at the helm will be former Alabama running back Roydell Williams, another portal acquisition for the Seminoles.

There has been a lot of action in Tallahassee in 2024 and the season hasn’t started yet. Here’s my game-by-game prediction of Florida State’s 2024 season .

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (Aug. 24): Florida State will make the trip to Dublin, Ireland for Week 0, the Seminoles will want to make a statement. I think that Florida State will win this one easily. FSU 38 GT 10.

Boston College Eagles (Sep. 2): Florida State’s home opener will be on a Monday night against Boston College. This will be the Eagles’ first game of the season. Under the new direction of Bill O’Brien, Boston College will likely still be ironing out the details, allowing the Seminoles to cruise into a W. FSU 49 BC 17.

Memphis Tigers (Sep. 14): I think Memphis will have a successful season in the AAC. However, I do not think that the Tigers will be a match for Norvell’s veteran Seminoles. Should be another home win and a 3-game streak. FSU 42 Memphis 21.

California Golden Bears (Sep. 21): This will be Cal’s first season in the ACC. Having to travel cross-country and take on a red-hot Seminoles team might not bode well for the Golden Bears. FSU 27 Cal 10

@ SMU Mustangs (Sep. 28): SMU will be another team that Florida State will introduce to the ACC. The Mustangs are known for their high-powered offense. I think that this one will be a shootout. FSU 45 SMU 41.

Clemson Tigers (Oct. 5): Clemson will be Florida State’s first true test of the season. The Tiger’s are looking to reclaim their dominance in the ACC. Home field advantage will propel the Noles. FSU 30 Clemson 24.

@ Duke Blue Devils (Oct. 18): Duke has spent the last few seasons establishing itself as more than just a basketball school. With that being said, I do not believe Duke will be a match for this year’s Seminoles in Football.  FSU 35 Duke 20.

@ Miami Hurricanes (Oct. 26): This will be a road game for FSU, but playing in an NFL stadium that the Hurricanes fail to fill up is not daunting. Florida State should take this one and make it four in a row against an in-state rival. FSU 30 Miami 17.

North Carolina Tar Heels (Nov. 2): Playing this one at Doak Campbell will be a large advantage for the Seminoles, who I think will take this one by a decent margin due to the difference in talent and firepower in the Seminole’s offense. FSU 35 UNC 13.

@ Notre Dame Fighting Irish (Nov. 9): The Fighting Irish are a talented team, and I think playing in South Bend will make this one even harder. I fear that Florida State will keep this one close, but fall at the end.  ND 31 FSU 21.

Charleston Southern Buccaneers (Nov. 23): FSU 49 CSU 6.

Florida Gators (Nov. 30): I expect FSU to show out against The Gators. Previous matchups mean nothing in a rivalry game, but I think that the Seminoles make it three in a row in this one. FSU 31 UF 17.

With a healthy roster and no major emergencies for the program, The Seminole should have consistent success and earn themselves a trip to the College Football Playoff.
