2014 BCS National Championship Open Thread
Last one, heald in the Grand Daddy of them all!
Florida State is favored by 13 on a neutral field, by some ESPN bottom line metric. Will Jameis Winston with the Heisman and MNC and end the SEC's run of 6 straight?
Auburn is the self-proclaimed team of destiny. Will they have one more miracle tonight?
Line: FSU - 10.5
Over/Under: 67.5

Kris Frost sighting. He has been a pretty good player for Auburn.
January 6th, 2014 at 8:58 PM ^
Winston looks like he floating his passes a bit.
January 6th, 2014 at 8:59 PM ^
Perhaps he pulled a Troy Smith and ate too much...
January 6th, 2014 at 8:58 PM ^
I am amazed by this game already. I thought FSU would be winning big already.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:06 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:07 PM ^
I agree. Other than UM and some other Big Ten games I am interested in, I'm usually looking for the best SEC game every Saturday. I love those games.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:11 PM ^
Are they though? I agree their top teams are (and the 7 straight titles is very impressive) but with how Texas A&M and Mizzou can come in and really compete, for some reason that indicates (to me) that they may be somewhat overhyped. Obviously their top 4 teams are excellent though, not arguing that.

Why no cut aways to hot chicks in the stadium Brent? This is why I root for Bama.

January 6th, 2014 at 9:04 PM ^
Here is to hoping that some scoring picks up in the 2nd quarter and beyond.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:06 PM ^
And right on cue, Auburn puts a score on the board.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:04 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:31 PM ^
Yeah he actually played defense at Georgia.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:05 PM ^
Wow. With nearly a month to prep for Auburn I figured FSU D would have more early success.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:05 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:07 PM ^
Where as for our guy this was his first full year playing QB
Dont forget a good QB is the key to a winning team
January 6th, 2014 at 9:19 PM ^
DG is/was a good QB. He has the potential to be great. However, he lacks the gameplan behind his skill set along with the confidence due to being destroyed every time he tries to pass due to horrible offensive line development. The athletes are there, but the execution (lolz) isn't. But hey, at least Hoke calls OSU "Ohio" and wears t-shirts when it's cold out.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:08 PM ^
I'll never understand why people downvote just because they don't understand other point of views, especially when they're sound in logic.
January 6th, 2014 at 10:45 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:13 PM ^
Welllllll, uhhhhh, we didn't execute?
January 6th, 2014 at 9:05 PM ^
Great play call. FSU was walking a guy down everytime Mason motioned into the backfield. Excellent counter to their bread and butter.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:07 PM ^
Thanks ESPN. I knew you wouldn't let me down and allow me to remove that funking catterwalling of Kathead Perry from my head.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:08 PM ^
She is hot and that song is good.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:10 PM ^
Well then, all the more for you, sir. She's all yours as far as I'm concerned.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:13 PM ^
I dare you to tell me you don't want this (those)...
January 6th, 2014 at 9:15 PM ^
I'd show her my "O" face as well.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:17 PM ^
I'd paint the walls with her.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:20 PM ^
Overruled
January 6th, 2014 at 9:24 PM ^
Full disclosure; my wife's set has NOTHING on those bad boys.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:21 PM ^
Nah. Too much makeup to make that face look like that. Plus my wife's boobs are better. Like I say, if that's your thing, more power to you. Enjoy. Just not for me.
You are wrong about one thing, by the way. That song sucks.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:55 PM ^
Many of Katy's song top the charts, so obviously she is doing something right.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:24 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:08 PM ^
That little cornerback turned around to try and tackle Mason and BOOM 300 lb guard crushes him.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:08 PM ^
FSU started slow against Duke as well. The more looks Winston gets at the Auburn D the better he will be. They won't be starting every drive at the 2.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:16 PM ^
Winston is getting a terrific worm's eye view of the Auburn D.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:09 PM ^
Why the hell would you ever not want to hit the other team "in the mouth" to start a game?
January 6th, 2014 at 9:11 PM ^
To hit them in the nuts?
January 6th, 2014 at 9:14 PM ^
Sounds like communist football to me.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:09 PM ^
FSU looks rusty right now....
January 6th, 2014 at 9:11 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:11 PM ^
Stupid play by Auburn. That was an obvious personal foul. They had momentum.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:12 PM ^
Need to start attacking that secondary. They can't cover down field.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:12 PM ^
Auburn Front 4 is winning right now....Auburn is able to sit back right now and play coverage
January 6th, 2014 at 9:15 PM ^
A couple of screen passes will fix that. You can't blitz all game like Auburn is doing. You will tire out your line and you are bound to get burnt.
Auburn's basic strategy so far is to blitiz. That will work for a quarter, but the offense will adjust and make the defense pay.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:20 PM ^
Maybe
They're getting a lot of pressure with a 4 line front
January 6th, 2014 at 9:13 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:14 PM ^
^100% this^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:13 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:13 PM ^
Chip on shoulder or not, FSU looking lost against a SEC D than isn't all that good.
