The top 100 FSU football plays: No. 15— McManus to Lewis starts The Dynasty

Date: January 1, 1988

Location: Sunkist Fiesta Bowl, Sun Devil Stadium; Tempe, Arizona

Opponent: No. 5 Nebraska Cornhuskers

“The Dynasty.” To Florida State fans, these two words immediately conjure up one of the more astonishing feats in all of sports. The fourteen seasons from 1987-2000 ended with fourteen consecutive top four finishes.

How ridiculous is this streak?

Alabama, in the midst of a dynasty of their own, is currently sitting on four consecutive top 4 finishes. All-time, no program besides FSU has more than seven straight top four finishes.
