We asked the question the other day: can Florida State make the College Football Playoff with multiple losses? That would all depend on how the season plays out, as well as the fortunes of many other teams. Of course, if the Seminoles want to control their own destiny, they can, you know, just win every single game. Easy.

12-0 would mean an ACC title game appearance. 13-0 would guarantee a spot in the CFP. But would would 15-0 mean? Well, obviously, FSU’s fourth national championship. That would break a tie for three with Florida and Auburn, both of whom the ’Noles regularly battle for recruits. It would also bring Florida State to within just one natty of rival Miami.

At the conference level, an undefeated 2017 campaign would mean a few things. From 2012-2014, Jimbo Fisher established control of the ACC, winning the conference each year. Since then, though, Clemson has wrested conference supremacy from the Seminoles, while using those titles to propel themselves to consecutive national championship game appearances and a surge in recruiting. The Tigers have also passed the ’Noles with 16 ACC crowns to FSU’s 15. A Seminole win would stay Clemson’s momentum.

In addition to bolstering its own standing within the conference, a perfect Florida State 2017 would also further solidify the increasingly high-profile of the ACC. It would mean three national champs out the last five.

But it could get even better for Seminole fans. First, it would mean revenge against Louisville after a blowout 2016 loss. And if Miami does — finally — win the ACC Coastal, as preseason predictions are forecasting, then that would mean not just one, but two wins over the Hurricanes within a span of three months. This would result in wins eight and nine in a row against the ’Canes, and, for the first time, give FSU the edge in the all-time series, 32-31.

Speaking of rivalries, an undefeated ’17 would also bring about consecutive win number five over UF (and eight of the last nine). Fisher’s mastery of his rivalries would be even further cemented.

What else would it mean for Fisher? To begin, a victory over Alabama would make Fisher the first former assistant of Nick Saban to beat the Tide head coach. It would also quash the talk about Fisher’s inability to win the big one without Jameis Winston. And as one of just four active FBS coaches with a national title (the others being Saban, Urban Meyer, and Dabo Swinney), Fisher would move firmly into the number three spot with regard to the country’s top coaches.

15-0 is never easy. And given the difficulty of the Seminoles’ 2017 schedule, doing it this year would be straight-up legendary.
