FSU football will be looking to get back to respectability in 2021. We give our top 10 BOLD season predictions for the Noles.

Notice the word BOLD for these FSU football season predictions, so they are supposed to be out of the ordinary.

The expectations for FSU football seem to be between a pessimistic and wait-and-see mode for the 2021 season.

If they can stay healthy in the trenches and at quarterback, I like them to make a bowl game.

It should be a fun season with the Noles looking to rise from dormancy the past four seasons. FSU football is likely three years away from realistically competing to be in the college football playoff, but I expect to see a great deal of progress under this coaching staff with an offseason.

Several things go into competing at an elite level year in and year out.

Teams have to have the right schedule and have to have incredible injury luck. Sometimes teams receive a favorable bounce here and there, or referees provide favorable calls.

It seems like FSU has been on the wrong side of injury luck and getting favorable bounces as of late.

I think 2021 will have a different feeling than last season for FSU, as they look to win a few more games and become more competitive in their losses.

The predictions are BOLD but could happen with great injury luck and the players exhibiting better mental toughness than the past few years.
