Why FSU to the Gator Bowl is quite unlikely— but not impossible

Florida State football ending its 2019 season where it was supposed to begin it — in Jacksonville — could happen. The Seminoles are eligible for the postseason once again, and one of the ACC’s bowl tie-ins is the Gator Bowl, held at TIAA Bank Field.

After the College Football Playoff, the Orange Bowl, and the Camping World Bowl (none of which the six-win ’Noles are gonna make), the Gator Bowl is one of five “tier-one” bowls committed to the ACC.

Well, sort of. In any given year, that’s really more like four, and it may wind up having nothing to do with how well FSU finishes its regular season.
