2024 Florida State Seminoles College Football Betting

Mike Norvell has proven to be the answer as head coach of the Florida State Seminoles. Norvell inherited a nuclear waste dump upon his arrival for the 2020 season. Attitudes were bad, and there were plenty of locker room lawyers. But Norvell broke through with a 10-3 season in 2022 and followed that up with a 13-1 campaign in 2023. Most fans believe that Florida State deserved to be in the College Football Playoff instead of Alabama, and it's something that FSU fans will never forgive or forget. But the good news is that Norvell’s program has been validated.

2024 Florida State Seminoles Betting Preview

Florida State will have plenty of questions to answer early on, but a favorable schedule should benefit the Seminoles through the first month of the season. The Seminoles have improved their record in each of coach Mike Norvell’s four seasons with the program. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see this squad make a run to another ACC championship and the College Football Playoff, especially with the field being increased to 12 teams.

Head coach Mike Norvell faces the tough task of replacing one of the best quarterbacks in program history (Jordan Travis). The Seminoles also lost their leading rusher (Trey Benson), top two wide receivers (Keon Coleman, Johnny Wilson), and most productive tight end (Jaheim Bell).

FSU welcomes Oregon State grad transfer DJ Uiagalelei to bridge the gap at QB while youngsters such as Brock Glenn and Luke Kromenhoek mature. Uiagalelei’s experience and arm offer FSU a path to another playoff run. Expect plenty of deep passes as the offense looks to stretch the field.

The offensive line has combined for 190 starts at the FBS level 123 at Florida State. That experience up front will serve Uiagalelei well as he builds chemistry with an array of skilled players. Kentron Poitier, Ja’Khi Douglas, and Hykeem Williams are among the returning receivers. Alabama transfer Malik Benson looks primed to play a big role alongside LSU transfer Jalen Brown. The running back room doesn’t have an established star, but it’s a talented group from top to bottom. The tight ends are a wild card, with three of last year’s top TEs no longer on the roster.

Defensive coordinator Adam Fuller has plenty of holes to fill, but he has established a solid nucleus of up-and-coming players who are ready to take the next step. Patrick Payton, Joshua Farmer, DJ Lundy, Azareye’h Thomas, and Shyheim Brown will be relied upon to lead a defense that was the only unit in the country to allow fewer completions than incompletions last season. Florida State should be able to lean on the defense while the offense assimilates its new pieces early in the year.

All-America returner and Indiana transfer Jaylin Lucas joins one of the most experienced kicking rooms in the country alongside Australian punter Alex Mastromanno and redshirt senior Ryan Fitzgerald. Special teams will be a strength once again in 2024.

2024 Florida State Seminoles Football Schedule

The Florida State Seminoles are a modern power with three national championships (1993, 1999, 2013). The Seminoles have won 18 conference championships and six division titles. They are a proud program with a passionate fan base that will travel.

The late great Booby Bowden built the program into a national powerhouse from 1976 through 2009. Bowden is in the College Football Hall of Fame. Great Seminole players include Fred Biletnikoff, Deion Sanders, Charlie Ward, and Jameis Winston.

Before the arrival of Bowden, Florida State toiled in relative obscurity. They never finished in the Top 10 from the program’s founding in 1954 until 1977, when Bowden led them to a final ranking of 14th. From 1987 through 2000, Bowden led the Seminoles to Top 5 or better finishes every season.

Jimbo Fisher led Florida State to its last national championship but left in a huff in 2017 out of frustration regarding his relationship with the administration.

Now, Mike Norvell has broken through, and the future looks bright for the Noles.
