The 1999 Florida State Seminoles football team represented the Florida State University as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) during the 1999 NCAA Division I-A football season. Led by 24th-year head coach Bobby Bowden, the Seminoles compiled an overall record of 12–0 with a mark of 8–0 in conference play, winning the ACC title. Florida State was invited to the Sugar Bowl, the BCS National Championship Game, where they defeated Virginia Tech to capture the program's second consensus College football national championship. The team played home games at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida.
Florida State entered the season with high expectations after losing to Tennessee in the inaugural BCS Championship game. The Seminoles were ranked No. 1 in all national preseason polls,[1] [2] picked unanimously to win the ACC and expected to contend for a national championship.[3] [4] The Seminoles finished 11–2 in 1998, extending their NCAA record to 13 straight seasons with at least 10 victories and ranked among the nation's top four teams.[5] [6]
The Seminoles were first team in NCAA history to go "wire-to-wire" ranked continuously as the nation's No. 1 team from the preseason through the bowl season.[7] This marked the 13th consecutive season that the Seminoles finished in the top 5 of both the AP and Coaches poll.[5] 1999 was also the 17th consecutive season in which Bowden led the Seminoles to a bowl game.

Before the season
[edit ]On November 12, 1998, quarterback Chris Weinke underwent surgery at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital to repair damage to his C6 vertebrae.[10] The surgery repaired ligament damage, corrected a ruptured disc and removed a bone chip which was lodged against a nerve in his neck.[6] There was much uncertainty as to whether or not Weinke would be fully healthy for the 1999 season as there was a six-month recovery period and much weight loss.[6]
Preseason outlook
[edit ]The Seminoles ended the 1998 season with a defeat in the inaugural BCS Championship game to Tennessee and finished with a No. 3 ranking in both the AP and Coaches polls and winning their seventh consecutive ACC title. Bowden had two returning Consensus All-Americans[11] and two other All-Americans [12] [13] among his 16 starters[14] [6] along with 19 fifth-year seniors. "This time a year ago, I said we had a talented football team, but it's the least experience we've had in a long time", Bowden said. "Now we've got most of the same guys back. Most of those guys started. That's the reason for so much preseason optimism."[15] As expected, FSU was at the top of the first Coaches Poll of the season, released August 5, 1999 with 36 of a possible 59 first-place votes; other teams receiving first-place votes were No.2 Tennessee with 13 votes, No. 3 Arizona with 2 votes, and No. 4 Penn State with 8 votes.[1] FSU was also atop the AP poll, released August 14, 1999 with 48 of a possible 70 first-place votes; other teams receiving first-place votes were No. 2 Tennessee with 15 votes, No. 3 Penn State with 4 votes, No. 4 Arizona, No. 5 Florida, and No. 13 Virginia Tech with 1 vote each.[2] Seminoles came into pre-season camp with a healthy Chris Weinke who had to miss the 1999 Fiesta Bowl BCS National championship game due to a season-ending cervical herniated disc sustained during a sack against Virginia.[6]
Despite being touted as a top NFL draft pick, Consensus All-American Peter Warrick stated his desire to earn his undergraduate degree and to win a national championship after the Seminoles lost the 1999 Fiesta Bowl BCS National Championship game.[16] [17] [18] [6] Warrick would enter the 1999 season as a Heisman front runner alongside Drew Brees, Ron Dayne, and Joe Hamilton. On top of being a Heisman favorite, Warrick was considered the front-runner for the Fred Biletnikoff award for the nation's top wide receiver.[17] The Weinke led offense that scored 31 points a game in 1998 would find himself with a talented senior corp of wide receivers with Warrick, Laveranues Coles, and Ron Dugans.
Recruiting class
[edit ]Due to FSU having 74 scholarship players on the roster and the maximum per NCAA is 85, FSU signed 13 players on National Signing Day.[19] [20] The recruiting class included four players named to USA Today's All-USA high school football team: Nick Maddox (RB), Kendyll Pope (LB), Darnell Dockett (DL), and Anquan Boldin (QB) who chose FSU over Florida and Miami.[19] [20] During preseason practice, Anquan Boldin moved from quarterback to wide receiver at his request.[21] Coach Bobby Bowden stated "I told him he'd be a great quarterback, (His decision) surprised all of us. He is an excellent prospect wherever he lines up."[22]
