The Seminoles’ season-opener in Atlanta against Alabama on Sept. 2 will be the first as it kicks off at 8 p.m. EST on ABC. It is the first meeting between the schools since 2007 and is a match-up between the only two teams to finish in the AP top 25 in each of the last seven years.

FSU’s ACC opener against rival Miami in Tallahassee on Sept. 16 will also be shown at 8 p.m. EST on ABC. It marks the sixth straight year that rivalry contest has been shown in prime time. The Seminoles will look to make it eight straight wins over the Hurricanes.

Of the six games involved, five take place on college football’s first full weekend. The other is the rivalry contest between FSU and Miami.
