Florida State is struggling to make a solid case for NCAA tournament inclusion, evidenced by their mixed results against both strong and weak opponents. Losses to teams like Florida and Louisville highlight their challenges against top-tier competition, while the lack of high-quality wins is a concern. Their upcoming schedule offers a mix of opportunities and risks, with important games against Clemson, North Carolina, and Miami that could define their season. To bolster their tournament hopes, they must secure victories in these matchups, particularly against stronger teams, while improving their defense, which has been a significant weakness this season.
