The Florida State Seminoles were defeated for the first time in 2025 on Friday night. On the road for their conference opener, the Seminoles didn't live up to the challenge against the Virginia Cavaliers, falling 46-38 in double overtime.

Despite the defeat, Florida State still has a lot to play for over its final eight regular-season games. The Seminoles remain in the top-20, and the door isn't closed on a potential run to the ACC Championship.
