FSU, after being ranked in the AP Top 25 at No. 25, is now slotted at No. 23 in the College Football Playoff rankings.

Where could the Seminoles be headed in the postseason after securing bowl eligibility? We break down what national outlets are projecting.

On Tuesday, Florida State head coach Mike Norvell as well as offensive lineman Dillan Gibbons, defensive back Greedy Vance, and tight end Camren McDonald met with the media to review practice, speak on the Miami win a bit further and talk on this week’s ACC finale vs. the Syracuse Orange.

This week on the Seminole Wrap — Brian Pellerin and Max Escarpio discuss what went into FSU blowing out Miami, how the team and program should feel about it and what goal should be for the rest of the season.

A nice little recommendation here from reader medav on some tips for first-time FSU travelers this weekend in Syracuse.
