FSU Football predicted to make decent bowl game after 2019 season

FSU football is eager to make it back to a bowl game after missing one for the first time in over three and a half decades during last season.

By now, the secret is out of the bag if you are a fan of the FSU football team – the Seminoles did not make it to a bowl game last season for the first time since the 1981 campaign thanks in large part (well, thanks entirely if we’re going to be honest) to the first losing season for the program in over four decades.

But, never fear Seminole fans: the 2019 season is just 14 weeks away from beginning when the Noles hit the road and invade Jacksonville for the season premiere against the Boise State Broncos – a season that is going to be the definition of make or break for the program and their second year coach, Willie Taggart.

But, the Noles are in a good spot as they are finally starting to get some proper respect after last season’s losing campaign – and one respected outlet has FSU football back in the bowl season when the 2019 regular season campaign comes to an end.

Florida State Seminoles Football

This week, Sporting News predicted the thousands of bowl games this coming season – okay, slightly over 40 games to once again be honest – and has the Seminoles heading to the Belk Bowl in Charlotte, North Carolina in a game scheduled to be played at noon on New Year’s Eve.

Their opponent for the predicted game? An Ole Miss Rebels team that fans in garnet and gold will remember from that epic second half comeback to open the 2016 season in a  game between the teams played in Orlando in front of a nationally televised audience.

Now, you can call me whatever you want to with this one, but I will say this to whoever handles the 2019 college football season for the Seminoles and everyone else: MAKE THIS EVENT TAKE PLACE RIGHT NOW AND DO NOT QUESTION THAT DECISION AT ALL!!!

(Let us forget for a moment that the predictions also had the Florida Gators and Syracuse Orange playing in the Orange Bowl and had the Clemson Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide playing for the national title (again) and look at the fact that it also has FSU football playing in a pretty decent bowl game after what took place in 2018.)

Right now, these projections – when aligned with how the ACC will send teams to bowl games for the upcoming season – have the Seminoles as the third best team in the Atlantic Division and has just one Coastal Division team (Pittsburgh) being sent to a bigger bowl as what would presume be a result of them playing Clemson for the conference title.

After finishing sixth in the Atlantic Division last season, jumping up to third for FSU football would be a huge step for Taggart to show that the argument of a second year step up is not just lip service for this year’s group of Seminoles after what took place last season.

If a trip to Charlotte for the FSU football team (and an eight or nine win season that goes with it) is what this prediction means, you can sign me and plenty of other fans of the Noles up for this right now.
