FSU Football should schedule future games against Texas A&M

FSU football has plenty of openings on future schedules – so why not face their now former head coach and remind him why you don’t turn against the family.

For FSU football fans, there is always time to look ahead at what the future may hold when it comes to opponents the Seminoles will face. In 2018, the Noles will open their season against Virginia Tech as part of their ACC slate that includes Miami and Clemson with non-conference games against Samford, Northern Illinois, Notre Dame and the annual battle against rival Florida.

In the future, Florida State will face the Gators each season to go along with the ACC schedule and know they will have more games against the Fighting Irish along with contests against West Virginia, Boise State and Louisiana Monroe that are currently scheduled for coming seasons.

After the 2020 season, however, FSU football has no non-conference games scheduled other than the annual Florida game and seven games against Notre Dame. In the coming weeks and months, the department will likely start to schedule future games – and there is one perfect opponent that the Noles should face as soon as possible.

The Texas A&M Aggies. Yes, that’s right. The Seminoles should do whatever it takes to schedule at least one game as soon as possible against the SEC West foe, if not a home and home series welcoming the Aggies to Tallahassee for the first time since 1968 and had to College Station for the first time since the year before.

The truth of the matter is that in the current world of the College Football Playoff, your strength of schedule is now more important for some committee members than your win loss record. The Aggies are a perfect team because they have enough credit as a SEC West member school, but the Seminoles would likely be favored baring an absolute collapse of either program.

If the Aggies are afraid to head to Tallahassee as part of a two game series, FSU football should schedule one of those neutral site games that everyone seems to love – call them up and say “We’ll meet you in Atlanta or Arlington” as the Seminoles look to stay undefeated against the foe – with the last two wins coming in the 1992 Cotton Bowl and the 1998 Kickoff Classic.

(No, wait – scratch that. We’re never playing an opener in Atlanta again after this season).

I mean, I’m not sure if there are any other reasons needed to play the Aggies if you are the Seminoles…hmm, let me think.

Oh yeah! It would be beautiful to see former FSU football head coach Jimbo Fisher get the welcome he deserved if he ever had the courage to step foot in Doak Campbell Stadium ever again. It would be amazing to see him leave the same way he did in five of the last 12 home games he coached for the Noles – as a loser.

Trust me, I love the fact that the Seminoles have found a real coach who wants to be in Tallahassee and wouldn’t trade him for the former coach (even with that 2013 national title) because the divorce showed Fisher’s true colors (and that he’s really not good with divorces).

It would be great to just remind him of the mistake he made when FSU football is playing for national titles in the coming future and Texas A&M is playing for third place in the SEC West. I mean, scheduling this game would be a “no brainer”.
