Remember when Florida State was hit by an academic cheating scandal two seasons ago?

Thirty-six Seminole football players were connected to a massive cheating plot on an online class and did not travel with the team for the 2007 Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl, which Florida State lost to Kentucky.

The school imposed its own sanctions, but the NCAA also launched an investigation. The findings have not been released but Florida State blog Tomahawk Nation is hinting sources inside the program are saying the Seminoles may have to vacant the entire 2007 season.

How does this relate to Penn State? Well currently, Joe Paterno holds a one-win lead on Florida State's Bobby Bowden in the NCAA Division I all-time wins record.

The Seminoles went 7-6 in 2007, meaning if the season is vacated, then Paterno would hold an eight-win lead.

Bowden has averaged less than eight wins per year during the past four seasons, while Paterno has averaged 10 wins per year during that stretch. If Paterno's lead stretched to eight, it would be incredibly difficult for Bowden to pass Paterno by the time the pair of AARP-eligible coaches retire.
