See which bowl game FSU football is now projected to play in 2026

Florida State Seminoles football fans are optimistic following a 2025 disappointing season, as bowl game projections suggest they could return to postseason play in 2026. ESPN analysts Kyle Bonagura and Mark Schlabach predict the Seminoles will face the Memphis Tigers in the Frisco Bowl, held in Frisco, Texas. Notably, the Seminoles last faced Memphis in Tallahassee in 2024, where they suffered a 20-12 defeat.

Their most recent bowl appearance was in 2023, where they faced the Georgia Bulldogs in the Orange Bowl, losing decisively 63-3. Mike Norvell, Seminoles' head coach, has struggled in bowl games, posting a 1-5 record across all bowl appearances and a 1-1 mark in Florida State's bowl games alone. Historically, Florida State boasts a strong bowl record of 28-17-2 across 47 bowl games.

However, the path to postseason success remains uncertain, especially with an upcoming ACC schedule that could include a top-10 Miami team. Currently, the Seminoles sit at 1-2, having hosted Central Arkansas at Doak Campbell Stadium on Saturday.
