Led by 16th-year head coach Bobby Bowden, the Seminoles compiled a record of 11–2 with win in the Cotton Bowl Classic over Texas A&M. Florida State played home games at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida.

Florida State finished the season ranked No. 4 in both polls. The Seminoles started the season ranked atop of the polls and stayed at No.1 until losing to the No. 2 Miami Hurricanes on November 16, in a game known as Wide Right I.
