Every year since 1982, Florida State has been among the teams playing in bowl games. The Seminoles saw their 36-year postseason streak begin back when there were fewer than half the bowl games that dot the college football landscape in the 21st century. It kept going under two different head coaches.

But in the first season under new head coach Willie Taggart, the streak looks set to come to an end in 2018. This year, the Seminoles need to win both of their final two games of the regular season just to keep the postseason invitations coming for another season.

Beating both Boston College and Florida, even with the Eagles and the Gators both coming to Tallahassee, is a tall task for the Seminoles. Florida State’s odds of reaching a bowl game are dissipating quickly.

5-7 won’t cut it for a Seminoles team that is far behind the leaders in Academic Progress Rate, the NCAA’s tiebreaker of choice when there are not enough six-win teams to fill all the available bowl vacancies. Only back-to-back wins against Boston College and rival Florida will seal the deal.
