MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Florida State will now travel to Miami for its first road game of the 2020 season.
The Seminoles, led by first-year head coach Mike Norvell, will try to snap a three-game losing streak against the rival Hurricanes on Sept. 26 under the new Atlantic Coast Conference scheduling model, the conference announced Thursday.
Florida State will open its season Sept. 12 at home against Georgia Tech before hosting Samford in its lone nonconference game.

Florida State hosts Virginia in its final home game Nov. 28 -- a date previously reserved for in-state rival Florida -- and then closes out its regular-season schedule with a trip to Duke on Dec. 5.
The Gators are missing from Florida State's schedule for the first time since 1957 after the Southeastern Conference opted for a conference-only schedule.
Florida State and Miami were originally scheduled to meet Nov. 7, but the game was moved up as part of a modified schedule that now calls for ACC teams to play 10 league games -- including Notre Dame for this season only -- and one nonconference opponent because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Hurricanes will get a bye week between the Florida State game and their Oct. 10 trip to Clemson. They'll then host Pittsburgh and Virginia in back-to-back weekends.
