FSU Football: Final CFP Ranking #13 and bowl selection
The CFP ranking committee slots the Noles at #13 in their penultimate ranking. I Poject the Noles Bowl Destination to be Orlando's Cheez-it Bowl!
Oklahoma it is!

#13 Noles are set to face off Vs. 2nd Non-NY6 Big12 Team in the Cheeze-Its Bowl
My Projection:
Oklahoma(Cheez-It Bowl), Texas Tech or Oklahoma State
After missing two bowls in a row and three out of four the Florida State Seminoles have climbed back into the ranks of the bowl bound. For casual fans it’s just one more chance to root for your team, or even alumni bragging rights around the water cooler. For the coaching staff, die-hard Nole fans, and media members alike this bowl game represents so much more.
Mike Norvell gets the “fifteen extra” practices to grow and develop his team. For comparisons sake that’s the number of spring practices (only twelve full contact) but bowl practices are simply limited to the four hours a day or twenty hours per week rule. There is no cap on limiting their number aside from that.
If I would have told you pre-season Florida State would sit atop the ACC power rankings, around the Nation, I would have been( and was) laughed at for even considering the possibility. Yet, here they sit on December fourth at number thirteen in the College Football Playoff rankings same as the AP poll and preparing to face Oklahoma.
Take note of the four playoff teams this year
The University of Georgia
Michigan University
Texas Christian University
Ohio State University
The gap from number #13 to number four is not insurmountable in one years time. Follow us here at The Renegade Report as we follow every move and important step Mike Norvell and his Seminoles take on their road to the ACC Championship and College Football Playoff!
