The Seminoles of Florida State University are considered a top tier program when it comes to college football. Their dominance in the sport late in the 20th century earned them the title of “The team of the 90’s”. From 1987 until 2000, the Seminoles were ranked among the top 5 teams in the nation according to the Associated Press, totaling up to an unprecedented 14 straight seasons. During this time span, FSU took home 9 straight conference titles in the ACC as well as 2 national championships, one of which was the inaugural BCS Championship. The man who built Florida State football into what it is today stepped into the head coaching position in 1976. Bobby Bowden would see this as his only losing season while coaching at FSU until the end of the 2009 season. Bowden has led the Seminoles to 28 straight post-season appearances, which is the longest active streak. His legend will live on at Florida State and throughout the college football world, having had the Seminoles home field named after him. He is only one of two coaches to have been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame while still actively coaching. This didn’t happen without it being earned though; Bowden is the second winningest coach of all time for any FBS school. !
