Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:37:05 GMT

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Once a heated Atlantic Coast Conference rivalry, the Florida State-Clemson series has become a lopsided affair.The Tigers have won seven in a row against the Seminoles, including five by double digits and four in Death Valley. No one needs to remind No. 4 Florida State about the past. And no one needs to educate coach Mike Norvell’s team about the present — or what’s at stake Saturday.“I don’t think there’s going to be a whole lot of motivational talks needed,” Norvell said.The Seminoles understand how important this game is to their ACC title hopes and their College Football Playoff chances. Fittingly, it’s a high noon showdown at Clemson Memorial Stadium.“We’ll be able to sit here (at) 3:30, 3:45 on Saturday and know whether we accomplished that or we didn’t,” Norvell said. “I’ve got a lot of confidence in what we’ll be able to do, and I’ll be able to live with whatever the result.”The Seminoles (3-0, 1-0 ACC) are 2 1/2-point ...

The decline took inflation to its lowest level since February 2022, when Russia’s invasion of Ukraine led to soaring energy and food prices.The ONS credited the fall to lower hotel and air fare costs and a moderation in food price rises. These helped offset an increase in energy costs on the back of higher crude oil prices.The decline was unexpected.
