Where Florida State basketball lands in early ACC projections
Florida State basketball is projected to be in Tier 4, known as 'The Bubble,' for the upcoming 2026-27 season according to CBS Sports analyst Isaac Trotter. This placement indicates that the Seminoles are expected to compete for NCAA Tournament consideration rather than contend for the top of the ACC. With a strong recruiting class and continued development under head coach Luke Loucks, Florida State aims to exceed these early expectations.
