Alabama is coming off a 2024 campaign that came up just short as the Crimson Tide were the first team left out of the most recent edition of the College Football Playoff (CFP). This is the first time these two teams will meet on the gridiron since 2017, and the first time they’ll meet since FSU was “snubbed” from the 2024 CFP (2023 season) in favor of the Tide.
Both teams will be sporting a new quarterback with the departures of DJ Uiagalelei and Jalen Milroe, but the Seminoles brought in a transfer, Thomas Castellanos, from Boston College. It is unsure who will get the nod at field general for the Crimson Tide, but head coach Kalen Deboer has a fourth-year QB in Ty Simpson on his roster.
However, Castellanos has more experience as a Division 1 starter.
An official start time has not been announced for the contest, despite FanDuel listing a 2 p.m. commencement.
