Not all bowls are created equal. College Football Playoff bowls really matter. New Year’s Six games are nice, but a definite step down. And then there are the rest. But still, if you’re gonna play in one of those “other” bowls, it may as well be one with name recognition and history.
And a couple of the latest bowl projections have Florida State making some of those games. Two weeks ago, ESPN’s Mark Schlabach didn’t even have the Seminoles making a bowl. But he now has them going to the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville to play Mississippi State.
