FSU may not be Bowl Eligible
Reddit CFB: FSU may not be Bowl Eligible
Quote:Florida State is scheduled to play in a record 36th consecutive bowl game, the Independence Bowl, against Southern Miss on December 27. Their 6-6 record includes a win over Delaware State, an FCS program. For an FCS opponent to be countable towards bowl eligibility, the FCS program must have awarded at least 90% of the FCS scholarship limit. After our own investigation, we have determined and confirmed that Delaware State has not met the 90% threshold set by the NCAA. As a result, Florida State's bowl countable record is 5-6, thus making them ineligible for a bowl game this season. At present, there are three other bowl eligible teams that were not offered a game and it would be unprecedented for a team to go bowling without either eligibility or a waiver while teams who are eligible stay home.

Not that the NCAA is going to do anything crazy like enforce rules against a P5... They'll just let some actually eligible G5 stay home.

NCAA won't do anything if true. They would've already stopped FSU before the bowl game was announced.
