CFB Top streaks of consecutive seasons with 2 or fewer losses (AP Poll era, since 1936)
Ohio State just had their streak broken this year so worth noting:
- Ohio State: 2012–2025
- Florida State: 1987–2000 (the peak Bobby Bowden stretch that produced 14 straight top-4 AP finishes and mostly seasons of 0–2 losses)
- Notre Dame: Tied at 14 (confirmed alongside the other two; exact start/end years are less consistently detailed in recent reporting than Ohio State’s or FSU’s dominant era)
Florida State has the No. 1 recruiting class in college golf for 2027, according to The Golf Channel
According to multiple Golf media outlets, with the signings of Miles Russell and Charlie Woods, #FSU's Trey Jones has the #1 recruiting class in the country: https://t.co/6obPjFeMGV https://t.co/YRZZsqAPHw

Top junior golfers Miles Russell, Charlie Woods announce signings with FSU
Florida State has the No. 1 recruiting class in college golf for 2027, according to The Golf Channel
Florida State has the No. 1 recruiting class in college golf for 2027, according to The Golf Channel, and the two biggest additions announced their signings with FSU on Wednesday morning.
Junior phenom Miles Russell was the first to sign Wednesday morning. He is considered the best junior golfer in the class, as well as the best at his level in generations. He has already played in multiple PGA Tour events, adding another this weekend in the Austin Championship.
Russell is also the No. 6-ranked amateur in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, which is already ahead of current Florida State golfer Tyler Weaver at No. 7.
“I was trying to stay pretty close to home, and then, I mean it’s hard to beat Florida State’s men’s golf’s record; they’re pretty darn good,” Russell told Warchant in an earlier one-on-one interview. “Coach Trey [Jones] is great. The practice areas are unbelievable; just everything about it is pretty amazing.”
Later Wednesday morning, Charlie Woods, son of 15-time Major champion Tiger Woods, announced his official signing with Florida State. Woods’ school, The Benjamin School in South Florida, had a signing ceremony last week in which his father and the rest of the family were decked out in Seminoles gear.
Woods is currently ranked 134th in the Rolex AJGA standings, with his most recent finish being tied for eighth at the Junior Players at TPC Sawgrass.
Florida State is also expected to add Kaden Puranik, who is 143rd in the AJGA rankings, as well as Swedish junior Edwin Askerfors. However, they have yet to announce their signings.

FSU season-opening win sets CW viewership record
Florida State’s season-opening win over New Mexico State did more than put the Seminoles at 1-0, it also delivered a record audience for The CW.
The Week 0 matchup averaged 1.96 million viewers in primetime, making it the most-watched sports broadcast in The CW’s history, according to Nielsen Panel + Big Data figures released by Nexstar Media Group on Wednesday.
Viewership peaked at 2.4 million between 9:15 and 9:30 p.m. ET as Florida State pulled away for a 34-17 victory at Doak Campbell Stadium. The broadcast also drew 718,000 viewers in the Adults 25-54 demographic, another network record for a sports event.
The game’s performance extended beyond The CW’s own benchmarks. According to Nexstar, Florida State-New Mexico State was the second-strongest primetime broadcast of the night among Adults 25-54, outperforming every primetime program on ABC, CBS and NBC in that demographic.
