It was the shining moment for the FSU football program – heading to Pasadena, California and bringing home the third national title in program history. It was the capping moment to a 14-0 season, led by Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston, a boatload of future NFL players and a team that could be considered one of college football’s best in the last 25 years.
Fast forward three years later, and the Seminoles are staring at a 3-2 record through the first five games that – if they don’t play their cards right – could end up with a 6-6 finish considering the teams left on the slate.
