Change your Min and Max Opponent Rating.
In Live, it is part of the seek options. You can also change your settings for what you'll see in the seek graph.
How do you set a minimum floor for opponents on chess.com?

I'm interested in blitz ratings; I was able to change the settings in the seek graph, but it does not seem to affect the actual floor of opponents, just who shows up in the graph. (I still get opponents rated lower than the floor.)

That is correct. The graph settings only show what you see there.
When creating a seek there is an option for the ratings too ...
It is relative to your current rating.
That's the exact window that is completely missing when I try and look for it!
That's the picture it has in the terms of service, where it recommends you set a good floor so you don't have to abort games, but it's completely missing on my "Start Game" window.
I'm using Chrome - anyone else having this missing window experience?

I see the issue. I don't normally do seeks and just enter tourneys.
Change the drop-down to Custom change to the time you want and then click the Rating Options link. Then Start Game.
Ahhh - that does it!
THANK YOU!
Totally nonintuitive!!
I can't figure out how to set a minimum rating floor for opponents on chess.com.
Like, if I'm 1300, I'd rather not be playing against <1200 opponents.
I looked at the "Terms of Service" webpage after I aborted a lot of games, but I don't seem to get that box where it allows you to set a rating floor for opponents.
