re: Bobby Bowden started head coaching in 1959. From 1959-2020 where does he rank all time.

FSU also finished #5 in 2000. Not sure what that does to Saban's numbers if you make it top 5 finishes instead of top 4

Nothing really.

Seasons not in the top 4:
2019 - #8 finish, 11-2
2013 - #7 finish, 11-2
2010 - #10 finish, 10-3
2008 - #6 finish, 11-2

2-loss seasons for FSU (top 4):
1998 - 11-2
1995 - 10-2
1991 - 11-2
1990 - 10-2
1989 - 10-2
Honorable mention - 1994 - 10-1-1

If you do top 10 finishes, then it's 14 in a row for FSU and 13 in a row for Alabama.
