Florida State Seminoles (5-5)

Seminoles hope to earn bowl eligibility Saturday

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) Florida State is hoping to become bowl eligible for the 28th straight season against Maryland on Saturday in a game that will be mostly about new quarterbacks and old coaches.

A win might help Florida State's embattled 80-year-old coach Bobby Bowden keep his job for one more year, while Maryland's Ralph Friedgen is hoping to end his young team's five-game losing streak.

The Seminoles (5-5, 3-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) finish up a disappointing regular season Nov. 28 at top-ranked Florida, where the chances of an upset would seem remote in what has been one of Bowden's roughest seasons in a coaching career that began during the Eisenhower administration. (MORE)
