QB Thomas Castellanos is perfecting his craft this offseason for the Seminoles

2 days ago | chopchat.com | Taylor Devers

Thomas Castellanos is expected to be a household name for the Seminoles in 2025. Florida State football struggled during the 2024 season, where they finished with a 2-10 record. The Seminoles' fan base is now in "wait and see" mode as the program will take on the Alabama Crimson Tide in the 2025 opener in the newly renovated Doak Campbell Stadium. Part of the fan base will blame quarterback transfer DJ Uiagalelei for the struggles of last year.

Should be an interesting 2025ACC football saw four teams reach the 10-win plateau in 2024. Ironically, FSU wasn't one of them, although they entered the season as the No. 10 team nationally. Two more teams reached the nine-win mark, and the rest of the conference was full of middling to terrible teams barely making bowl games. There were surprises like Duke winning nine games in Manny Diaz's first year as head coach in Durham.

Still in line for a top eight national seed. FSU baseball (36-11, 16-8 ACC) rebounded in its Sunday rubber match against California with a 5-1 victory to win the series.

Ironically, California's lone win over FSU in game two boosted their RPI +13 spots. California isn't a good team and is well below .500 overall and in ACC play.

Three coaches that our FSU football fans love to hate. Let me start by stating that I hope all mothers out there have a phenomenal Mother's Day. The world is a better place with all of the mothers in it. Florida State football is currently sixteen weeks away from kicking off against the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday, August 30th, in the newly renovated Doak Campbell Stadium. As a result, content is sometimes difficult to come by.

Should be easy winsFSU football has much to prove in 2025 after only winning two games last year. Most FSU fans are in wait-and-see mode, and who could blame them when there was serious doubt they could beat Charleston Southern toward the end of last season? I don't doubt that FSU will be better for a few reasons. They couldn't be any worse and made major changes to the coaching staff and the roster. They also have a manageable schedule.
