The Florida State Seminoles are going back to the drawing board after their third straight loss. The current process isn't working, and there will be some changes for the Seminoles as they prepare to travel to Stanford, evidenced by a new-look depth chart.

In the loss to Pittsburgh, FSU allowed a season-high 476 yards. The defeat marked the first time this season the Seminoles have been outgained by an opponent in 2025.

Though the offense didn't play up to its standard in the second half, it was the defense that failed the Seminoles once again. FSU has allowed 108 points during its three-game losing streak. That comes after surrending just 30 points in the first three games of the year.

Where does Florida State rank nationally in a variety of statistics following Week 7?
