TALLAHASSEE – Undefeated Florida State is No. 4 in the first College Football Playoff rankings released Tuesday night on ESPN.
Florida State, 8-0 overall and 6-0 in the ACC, leads the country with 14 consecutive 30-point games, the second-longest streak in ACC history. FSU leads the ACC and is fifth nationally, scoring 41.5 points per game, and is 11th in the country and tops in the ACC with a 93.9 Red Zone conversion percentage.
Defensively, FSU leads the country with just three passing touchdowns allowed, and opponents are completing just 49.4 percent of its passes against the Noles, the only team in the nation forcing more incompletions than completions allowed. Florida State is fifth in the country, holding opponents to a 101.59 passer rating.
In October, the Seminoles held all four opponents under 150 passing yards and did not allow a passing touchdown.
Florida State has now been included in six consecutive CFP rankings dating to last season, when the Noles improved each week in November, jumping from 23rd to a final spot of 13th. FSU's ranking is its highest since 2014, when FSU was in the top-four for all seven rankings released that season and played in the first College Football Playoff Semifinal.
FSU is ranked No. 4 in the Associated Press and Coaches Polls, marking nine straight weeks in the top-five of both polls. The Seminoles have won 14 consecutive games, the third-longest streak in the nation and tied for the sixth-longest in school history.
Florida State visits Pitt on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. on ESPN for its final ACC road game of the year. The Noles are 3-0 on the road and 4-0 away from Tallahassee this season.
