Florida State returned to the practice field Wednesday with the first of 15 scheduled sessions before playing Auburn for the national championship in Pasadena, Calif., on Jan. 6. Coach Jimbo Fisher said the top-ranked Seminoles were eager to get back to football after a week full of winning awards, various trips, exams and an appearance on the ''Late Show with David Letterman'' for Heisman-winning quarterback Jameis Winston. ''They were looking forward to getting out here practicing.'' Fisher said Florida State took some time to find its groove during the first practice since winning the Atlantic Coast Conference championship Dec. 7. The team will have their final five practices the first week of January leading up to the BCS championship game.
