By Kelvin Hunt
The standard at FSU football is competing for conference and national championships. The disastrous 2024 season, or any season where FSU isn't in the mix among the top teams, is unacceptable. It's a new day and age with the transfer portal and the 12-team College Football Playoff.
Don't get me wrong, making a bowl game still has many positives. It's an opportunity for players to experience something different, get some swag, and continue developing through the bowl practices.
