Following an impressive 10-2 rebuilding season, the No. 9 Florida State Seminoles will make the short trip north to Atlnata for a Peach Bowl matchup against the 12-1 No. 18 Houston Cougars, the champions of the American Athletic Conference, as we predicted.
The game will take place on New Year's Eve day at noon in the Georgia Dome and reprise a matchup last played in 1978, when Houston beat Bobby Bowden's 'Noles by a 27-21 score in Tallahassee. The Seminoles will look to exact some revenge against Houston, which is 12-2-2 against Florida State all-time.
