FSU (6-6) vs. West Virginia (9-3)
About FSU : A lot of people expected Florida State to contend for the ACC title this year, attempting to win for the first time since 2005. An early season upset in BYU had Seminole fan’s talking. Three straight losses following that had prominent Seminole boosters talking, this time for coach Bobby Bowden’s head. At 2-4, FSU did just enough to win four of their last six and finish at a barely bowl-eligble 6-6.
