Florida State 2010 Florida State Seminoles football team The ACC Atlantic Division Champion Florida State Seminoles came into the game with a 9–4 record in coach Jimbo Fisher's first season.

Florida State's appearance in the Chick-fil-A Bowl marks a continuance of their streak of active consecutive bowl games to twenty nine. Although FSU has never appeared in the Chick-fil-A Bowl under its current name, it has appeared in two games when it was known as the Peach Bowl, losing the inaugural game in 1968 and winning it in 1983. Like South Carolina, Florida State has been a member of its current conference since 1992. Game summary Scoring summary Scoring play Score 1st quarter FSU - D.
