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

SLIGHT MOD EDIT - Not really OT for our purposes. We'll make this the open thread. - LSA

Kris Frost would have been nice on our defense.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:58 PM ^
Apparently facemasks are legal in tonight's contest.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:59 PM ^
He was being blatantly held. If not for that, he would have gotten to Winston. He was fightign through a hold.
January 6th, 2014 at 10:02 PM ^
They missed that, too. Holding is fair game tonight as well.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:58 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 10:13 PM ^
They are Big Ten refs right?
January 6th, 2014 at 9:58 PM ^
Yes I do.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:58 PM ^
Auburn gets away with another call. Wow. This awful officiaiting.

I hope he gets a lot of action due to his recognition. He deserves it, since he doesn't have a soul.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:59 PM ^
I'm pretty sure.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:59 PM ^
Fisher needs to rip into his team and the officials at the half.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:59 PM ^
Winston runs weird. Something odd about his stride.
January 6th, 2014 at 10:01 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:59 PM ^
Nice run, but Winston looks slower than I remembered.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:59 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 10:00 PM ^
This. So much...this.
January 6th, 2014 at 10:07 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 10:01 PM ^
Naw, Delaney is proud of the effort his boys are putting out there.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:59 PM ^
that face mask call. Couldn't have been more obvious. Glad it didn't matter.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:59 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 10:01 PM ^
Holy shit that punt fake may have been the biggest thing since sliced bread.
ANd Jameis leading them down to score..looking like Devin Gardner, anybody else think that? Out there just trying to make something happen. Good on them to finally come together and score 6.

Red Lightning sighting!!!
January 6th, 2014 at 10:01 PM ^
I'm interested to see Auburn's two minute offense vs this FSU D.

Four teams in a playoff is a joke, but at least it's a start. FCS can do a normal playoff, so why can't the FBS?
January 6th, 2014 at 10:05 PM ^
Bowl sponsors with deep pockets, not wanting to see their respective bowls get marginalized by a playoff system.
It's all about the money homie.
January 6th, 2014 at 10:06 PM ^
Why is it a joke? They already play so many games. I think a 4 team playoff will be awesome.
January 6th, 2014 at 10:07 PM ^
Agree - I want a limited playoff that rewards having a great season.
January 6th, 2014 at 10:05 PM ^
Strange.
January 6th, 2014 at 10:06 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 10:07 PM ^
I agree. Even a FG there really changes the complexion.
January 6th, 2014 at 10:06 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 10:06 PM ^
Not at all.
January 6th, 2014 at 10:15 PM ^
No way. I love their gear. I think they have some of the best stuff if college football for Auburn. UA is definitely not cheap.
January 6th, 2014 at 10:06 PM ^
Lots of complaints about the refs in this thread and I thought it worth mentioning that the announcers mentioned that it is a B1G crew earlier in the broadcast.
January 6th, 2014 at 10:10 PM ^
People noticed, they've lumped them into the "Big Ten kinda sucks including officials" category.

routinely assume that the score midway through the second quarter will be the final score. . . and wad their panties accordingly.
FSU back in it, at least enough to keep the audience up for the start of the second half.
