WAKE-UP CALL: Florida State's Program Has Been OUT-PERFORMED By Wake Forest | Recruiting

It’s unheard of, but Wake Forest becomes the Florida State Seminoles’ barometer for football resurgence. Can Mike Norvell’s squad reclaim dominance as teams like Wake Forest, led by head coach Jake Dickert, maximize limited NIL resources and outperform better-funded programs? Brian Smith spotlights how Wake Forest’s player development and consistent coaching have put pressure on Florida State’s administration to demand higher standards—or face big changes on the sidelines and possibly the administration.

Recruiting battles heat up across the ACC as Miami Hurricanes surge ahead, while traditional rivals and programs like Clemson, Virginia Tech, and SMU struggle to keep pace. Smith discusses how Florida State can capitalize on a weakened ACC landscape, outlining why an eight-win season should be the baseline and how the upcoming expanded 24-team College Football Playoff could provide a short-term boost for the Seminoles. Will leadership rise to the challenge—or is it time for a new era at Florida State?
