Schedule

Florida State had games scheduled against Boise State, Florida, Samford, and West Virginia, which were all cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic[2], which resulted in the ACC playing a ten game conference schedule. This will be the first season since 1957 that the Seminoles do not play Florida.
