RE: Florida Capitol to be lit in Garnet and Gold in Honor of Florida State University’s Undefeated College Football Season
After achieving an undefeated college football season and winning the ACC championship, the Florida State Seminoles were wrongfully excluded from the college football playoffs. While the College Football Playoff Committee failed to recognize the Seminoles with a well-deserved spot in the playoffs, Florida will continue to honor their remarkable season. As a mark of respect for their hard work to achieve a perfect season, and to recognize that the Seminoles should be playing for a National Championship, the Florida State Capitol will be lit each night in garnet and gold beginning at sunset on December 30, 2023, through January 1, 2024.
