Florida State football is gearing up for a potentially historic game on Saturday in Charlotte as they set their sights on their first ACC championship since 2014. The Seminoles will be facing off against Louisville at Bank of America Stadium, and fans are eagerly anticipating the outcome.

After securing their second consecutive win over rival Florida with a 24-15 victory on November 25th, FSU wrapped up the regular season with a flawless 12-0 record, a feat they haven't accomplished since 2014 - the same year they made their debut in the College Football Playoff.

Currently ranked at No. 4, a win for the Seminoles could very well pave the way for their entry into this season's College Football Playoff. However, the team is facing some challenges as they are still without quarterback Jordan Travis, who sustained a season-ending injury against North Alabama a couple of weeks ago.

Last week, quarterback Tate Rodemaker took the field, but his status for the upcoming game is uncertain after sustaining an injury. If Rodemaker is unable to play, freshman Brock Glenn is poised to step into the starting role.

The uncertainty surrounding Rodemaker's availability has left fans on edge, with his father, Alan Rodemaker, revealing on a radio show that there's a "50/50" chance of him being able to suit up for the ACC Championship. It's a decision that is expected to be made just before game time.

The ACC Championship Game will be broadcast on ABC, with Joe Tessitore serving as the play-by-play announcer, Jesse Palmer as the analyst, and Katie George as the sideline reporter.

As the anticipation continues to build, fans are eagerly awaiting the outcome of this potentially historic game for Florida State football.
