FSU football: Grading our top 10 BOLD predictions for 2022 season

FSU Will Win A Bowl Game To Reach 9 Wins

Here’s what I wrote:

"I predicted FSU to win eight games in the season predictions post, which means they go to a bowl with the opportunity to win nine games for the first time since 2016. Obviously, it depends on the matchup and where the game takes place. However, if FSU football wins eight games, that means they’re an extremely dangerous team with time to prepare for whoever their opponent could be. Mike Norvell and the staff have shown they can scout and create great game plans. Think of how they played more talented teams extra tough last season. I wouldn’t be shocked to see FSU carry the momentum from an eight-win season into the post-season with Mike Norvell understanding the importance of perception. Nine wins would plant FSU squarely back into the minds of national writers and top-tier recruits. I think that would be enough to put FSU back in the mix with the players they need to start competing for conference and national championships.

IF was one win better than I thought they’d be in the regular season. There are a lot of what if’s looking back at the season. What if FSU didn’t block the extra point against LSU?

What if Tate Rodemaker doesn’t lead FSU back against Louisville? What if Jordan Travis had to miss multiple games with the injury against Louisville? What if FSU had better injury luck on the defensive side of the ball?

Grade: A

Overall, I think I had an excellent handle on this FSU football team. I’ve been way ahead of the game compared to most who follow the program and were pessimistic about so many things.
