ACC Spring Meetings concluded with the commissioner’s quorum on Wednesday afternoon at the Ritz Carlton in Amelia Island, Fla.

ACC commissioner Jim Phillips said he was “ecstatic” about the meetings and consensus built during the three day event. He also assented to the idea of a presidential sports commission to address the ongoing issues with college athletics and player compensation.

During the Q&A session, Phillips fielded, and at times evaded, questions regarding playoff access in an expanded playoff, the increased visibility of the conference with Bill Belichick in the league and the restless pursuits of national titles and more revenue.

Florida State will open the 2025 season in a newly renovated Doak Campbell Stadium when they host Alabama on August 30.

Alabama opened as a 9 point favorite and the line has moved to anywhere between 10.5 and 11 on several sportsbooks

FSU finished in last place in the ACC and below .500 for the fifth time in seven years and third time under Mike Norvell.

Alabama failed to win 10 games for the first time since 2007, its first season under former head coach Nick Saban. The Crimson Tide lead the all-time series 3-1 including the most recent clash, a 24-7 win in 2017

Florida State’s winter window portal haul ranked 23rd in the nation with 16 additions and 22 losses. The spring transfer window has closed though the Seminoles remain active in pursuing prospects.
