The FSU Seminoles have played two ranked teams in their first four games, and the schedule is just getting tougher. Florida State's next four opponents are either ranked or receiving votes in the updated US LBM Coaches Poll after Week 4 of the season.

Up first is the Virginia Cavaliers, who received 15 votes and will come to Doak Campbell Stadium on Saturday. The Seminoles will then hit the road, traveling to play the Louisville Cardinals, who received 42 votes. They will then play the No. 4 Miami Hurricanes on the road, with the Hurricanes climbing one spot in the new poll.

While FSU will get a bye after their first rivalry game of the season, they will return to action against the Clemson Tigers in Week 8 in Tallahassee. The Tigers received five votes in the most recent poll and are on a three-game winning streak.

The biggest riser in the poll is the Florida Gators, who rose 14 spots and are now the No. 8 team in the country after dominating the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday. The Gators look like a playoff contender in the first year of Jon Sumrall's tenure and will be a tough opponent in FSU's final game of the regular season.
