Start time for Florida State football vs. Syracuse announced

Update: No. 5 Florida State football will play Syracuse at noon on Saturday, Oct. 14 at Doak Campbell Stadium. The Seminoles X account tweeted out the confirmation of the game time Saturday evening.

The Miami-North Carolina game will be played in the 7:30 p.m. slot on ABC.

FSU defeated Virginia Tech 39-17 on Saturday, Oct. 7.

From earlier: While Florida State football is preparing to face Virginia Tech this week after returning from its Week 5 bye, the Seminoles learned about potential start times for their contest against Syracuse in Week 6.

Per an ACC press release, ESPN has elected to use a six-day selection for the FSU-Syracuse and Miami-North Carolina games which will fill the noon and 7:30 p.m. ET windows on ABC.

The Hurricanes and Tar Heels, like the Seminoles, are off to 4-0 starts to the season. The Orange are coming off a Week 5 loss to Clemson (31-14). UNC and Syracuse face off this week, with the result likely determining which game will fit each slot.

The Seminoles are coming off a Week 4 31-24 overtime victory over Clemson in Death Valley. It was the first win on the road against Clemson since 2013 and the first one overall since 2014.

This week, FSU takes on Virginia Tech (2-3, 1-0) in the ACC home opener at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Doak Campbell Field.

The Seminoles have played two noon games and two night games this season. The Seminoles 3:30 p.m. game against the Hokies this week is the lone mid-afternoon on the schedule so far.
