Florida State capped off this Orange Bowl with their 11th straight bowl game without a loss. They would go on and win their next three bowls in the following seasons. It would eventually mark 14 straight bowls (December 1982 through January 1996) without a loss. Speaking of that magic number 14, FSU went 14 straight seasons finishing in the final AP and or Coaches poll top four (1987–2000). That still to this day, marks the most consecutive seasons finishing in the final top 4 in the history of the AP (1936) and Coaches Poll (1950).
