Despite being left out of the College Football Playoff, Florida State University (FSU) football still has a chance to win a national championship by topping the Associated Press (AP) final college football poll. If FSU defeats Georgia in the Orange Bowl and either Alabama or Texas wins the playoff, leaving only one undefeated Power 5 team, AP poll voters could potentially vote FSU as the No. 1 team. The author believes that sportswriters, who dislike being told what to do and have become frustrated with the corruption in college athletics, might seize the opportunity to vote FSU as the national champion if they genuinely believe the team deserves it.
Hurricane Lee is expected to pass Florida far offshore, but it will produce heavy surf, rip currents, and beach erosion along the entire U.S. East Coast. While the Gulf and Southeast coasts are not at risk of landfall, Florida's football teams will bring the tropical impacts with them as they travel to New England. Hurricane Lee is currently a Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph, and it is expected to impact the Northeast U.S. and Atlantic Canada. The storm will bring heavy rain, gusty winds, and the potential for flooding to coastal areas. Meanwhile, Hurricane Margot is meandering in the eastern subtropical Atlantic, and another tropical storm may develop between West Africa and the Lesser Antilles.

The arrival of wide receiver Destyn Hill and Michigan State transfer Keon Coleman has added depth and talent to the FSU football team's wide receiver group. Hill is expected to start as a slot receiver and also contribute to special teams as a punt returner. Coleman is expected to start as the Z receiver opposite Johnny Wilson. The team's wide receiver depth chart also includes promising players like Darion Williamson, Hykeem Williams, and Kentron Poitier.
FSU football adds Keon Coleman from the transfer portal to upgrade their already potent offense in 2023, which had a run-heavy attack and explosive passing game. With the departure of Mycah Pittman and Pokey Wilson, Johnny Wilson remains the top option, but Coleman's proven ability and breakout year at Michigan State make him a valuable addition to the team's wide receiver corps.
FSU football hosted its second spring scrimmage with more of a game flow, and Jordan Travis led the team on a 12-play touchdown drive. Backup QBs were not as sharp as last week, but young players took more chances.

Trey Benson and Lawrance Toafili shined with some big runs, and FSU continues to mix and match along the offensive line.
