TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — For the first time all season, Florida State controls its own destiny.

The Seminoles are undefeated, ranked second in the Top 25 and the BCS standings, and have earned a berth in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game. Florida State will play in its first BCS championship game if it wins its final four games — and will be significant favorites in all of them.

The last time the Seminoles won the national title was in 1999.

“I don’t think about it, I don’t have to. Everybody else tells you,” coach Jimbo Fisher said. “I try to stay in the moment, live in the moment. ... I have enough problems with Syracuse right now.”

The Seminoles (9-0, 7-0 ACC) got the help they needed when Oregon lost 26-20 to Stanford on Thursday. It would have been extremely unlikely for Florida State to leapfrog an undefeated Ducks team.

Running back Karlos Williams was quick to follow his coach and say the team doesn’t pay attention to the hoopla.
