As of October 22, 2025 Rankings from AP Poll

The 2025 Florida State Seminoles football team represents Florida State University in the Atlantic Coast Conference during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season, entering the season after arguably the worst season in the program's history. The Seminoles are led by Mike Norvell, who is in his sixth year as their head coach. The Seminoles play their home games at Doak Campbell Stadium, located in Tallahassee, Florida.

Florida State began the season with an upset win over the eighth-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide as a double digit underdog. ^[1] The Seminoles then set the school record for largest margin of victory with a win over the East Texas A&M Lions, matching the previous year's win total ^[2] , and reaching the top 10 in the polls, going on to surpass it with a win over the Kent State Golden Flashes, setting new school records for total yards, rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, and first downs in a single game. ^[3] The Seminoles then suffered four consecutive defeats, starting a season 0–4 in conference play for the first time, first in overtime to the Virginia Cavaliers, the conference opener, losing the Jefferson–Eppes Trophy ^[4] , to their rival, the Miami Hurricanes ^[5] , the Pittsburgh Panthers, the fourth consecutive home conference loss for the program ^[6] , and then the Stanford Cardinal, in their first meeting, the ninth consecutive conference loss, dating back to the previous season. ^[7]
