FSU Football: Website has Seminoles with 8 wins in 2019 season

FSU football is looking for a big bounce back after the first losing season in over four decades, and one website thinks they will do such a thing in 2019.

Before the FSU football team went 5-7 during the 2018 season, the Seminoles had one of the longest winning seasons streak in the history of college football after going 41 straight campaigns without having a losing record – dating back to the 1976 season, when the Noles went 5-6 in the first season under former coach Bobby Bowden.

The season that followed that inaugural campaign under Bowden, the Noles bounced back in what could easily be called a big way as the Seminoles finished the 1977 season with a record of 10-2 on the year – the first time in the history of the program at the time that FSU football had double digit wins in a season.

While there are not a whole lot of people – both in the Seminoles fan base and outside of it – who think that a double digit win season is possible this year under second year head coach Willie Taggart, there are not many people at all who think that another losing season will take place by the time that the 2019 season comes to an end.

Florida State Seminoles Football

As the first game against Boise State comes closer to kicking off, preseason predictions are starting to come in – and College Football News got things started this week by saying that the Seminoles will finish the season with eight wins during the 2019 season.

The website has the FSU football team winning their first two games of the season before losing on September 14th at Virginia – then has the Seminoles winning five of their next six games, with the one loss being at Clemson, before dropping two of their final three games at Boston College and at Florida.

Now, I don’t know how others in the FSU football fanbase would think on this one but I would take that all day, everyday when it comes to the upcoming season. It’s not because I am satisfied with an 8-4 regular season for the Seminoles – but after what took place last season, we have to realize that the turnaround is going to not be a one year deal.

If the Seminoles can finish the 2019 season with nine wins if they can come out victorious in the bowl season on top of what the first prediction has, the 2020 season could be something special in Tallahassee for Taggart and the Seminoles.
