David Cobb of CBS Sports composed this of the Seminoles perhaps taking the state title for the 3rd successive year:
“Florida State completed 13-1 in 2023, publishing its finest season considering that winning the 2014 nationwide title. The Seminoles were snubbed from the College Football Playoff, they showed to be the state's leading group by a broad margin. Expectations are high at Miami this season, however the Hurricanes have ground to comprise after a 12-13 starting to coach Mario Cristobal's period.”

FSU, as constantly, will play both Miami and Florida this season, however this is the very first time given that 2019 that all 3 schools will square off versus each other in the very same year. UF and UM played each other continually from 1938 to 1987. From that point on (in spite of a couple of years when UF and UM arranged each other for a home and home), the state champion was quasi-decided by the transitive home if possible.
If FSU beat both UF and UM, they had the bragging rights for the state. If FSU beat UF however didn't beat Miami (or vice versa), then the Hurricanes/Gators might declare supremacy. If the ‘Noles stopped working to beat either group, then nobody truly understood for sure. Even with all 3 groups squaring off, they might all go 1-1 versus each other. In addition, with UCF going on the roadway to Gainesville early in the season, they might toss their hat in the ring, too.
Florida State will begin their season off with a journey to Dublin, Ireland as they take on versus Georgia Tech on Aug. 24.
