The 2006 Florida State Seminoles football team represented Florida State University during the 2006 college football season. Florida State entered the 2006 season as the defending ACC Champion, coming off an 8–5 record (5–3 ACC) in 2005. The Seminoles were given a preseason ranking of #10 in the Coaches Poll and #11 in the AP Poll, but the team dropped completely out of the rankings by mid-season. The Seminoles finished with an overall record of 7–6, which was head coach Bobby Bowden's worst record since going 5–6 in 1976, his first year as Florida State's head coach. This record was later reduced to 2–6 after 5 wins from the season were vacated as punishment for violations of NCAA rules.
