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, picked unanimously to win the ACC and expected to contend for a national championship. 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. 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. This marked the 13th consecutive season that the Seminoles finished in the top 5 of both the AP and Coaches poll. 1999 was also the 17th consecutive season in which Bowden led the Seminoles to a bowl game.
