UPDATE: Florida State Director of Athletics Michael Alford stated on the Gramlich & Mac Lain Podcast a few days ago that he wants to play the stiffer competition of Alabama, Georgia, Notre Dame, Clemson, Miami, Florida, and even Virginia Tech every year because it is good for college football. He mentions that those hard brand head-to-head games are something that is vital to the sport and to the brand of Florida State. I am in favor of playing the tough competition. This is the foundation of Florida State football. Legendary head football coach Bobby Bowden built his legacy around in not being intimidated by playing tougher competition. 🔥 #GoNoles #fsufootball #michaelalford #floridastate #fsuvsbama #doakcampbellstadium
