They fell to number twenty-two in the polls. However, this was their only blemish during the regular season, as they won their final five ACC games. Highlights included wins over number twenty three Virginia, number four North Carolina, and a rivalry victory over Miami.

The Seminoles finished the regular season 12–2–2 and 7–2–1 in ACC play to finish in a tie for second place. As the third seed in the ACC Tournament, they hosted sixth seed and thirteenth ranked Notre Dame in the First Round.
