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

The last time an announcer uses the words "well spoken" is fine by me.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:02 PM ^
There is no team in history more lucky than Auburn
January 6th, 2014 at 11:02 PM ^
is auburn gonna get?
January 6th, 2014 at 11:03 PM ^
Weren't we a player in the recruitment of Tim Jernigan? Wouldve been nice to get him. He is dominant.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:03 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 11:04 PM ^
I'd drop 8.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:04 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 11:04 PM ^
Look out!
January 6th, 2014 at 11:05 PM ^
FSU's best play is kicking or punting it to Auburn. At some point they won't recover all these fumbles right?
January 6th, 2014 at 11:05 PM ^
That is close to being over the line. Nice to see that other view.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:06 PM ^
Is really looking like the "team of destiny"
I've never seen so many lucky bounces in 3 quarters.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:06 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 11:09 PM ^
I love the idea and you are right. Full screen with a few coaches breaking down the previous play while adding their thoughts would be perfect.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:09 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 11:10 PM ^
like a John Madden telecast.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:07 PM ^
Oh McKinsey? What?
January 6th, 2014 at 11:07 PM ^
But he's still got a lot of work to do to be a legit NFL star level QB.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:13 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 11:16 PM ^
Yeah the ball gets there just a touch slow on some passes, due to his long windup sometimes.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:10 PM ^
What does he bring to the table? He of the no-headset approach who leaves all this x and o stuff to his coordinators. I suppose he could comment on D-line technique. I don't even feel good about how he would represent himself in that room let alone how many light years away he seems from being on that sideline.
Sorry. rant.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:13 PM ^
Brady Hoke is not an idiot.You don't get to be a head coach without having the ability to articulate yourself.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:15 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 11:17 PM ^
sentence together in pressers and interviews (at least from what I've seen/heard) but maybe that's not his thing. To turn my comment around and consider your view, I would LOVE to see Brady sitting in the room with these gentlemen and see how he does ... he would likely surprise me, I suppose.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:20 PM ^
The man speaks well enough to be an excellent recruiter. None of the coaches are particularly impressive as speakers.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:32 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 11:18 PM ^
Really? Does John L Smith not ring a bell?
January 6th, 2014 at 11:13 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 11:16 PM ^
It's too bad people get downvoted for saying the truth and not being a homer.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:18 PM ^
about truth, but trolling sure gets neg bombed.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:19 PM ^
I wouldn't call what he said trolling.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:27 PM ^
It was an honest question about our head coach and was curious about this board's opinion.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:25 PM ^
It's fine to criticize a coach's performance, his personal attributes goes over a line that we should not cross unless we want this to be Mlive.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:34 PM ^
Crossed the line there. A little frustration from this past season coming through.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:10 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 11:14 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 11:12 PM ^
Please Seminoles. Interesting stat. Dang need to squeeze that ball but nice play by the safety in knocking that ball from the player.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:14 PM ^
Please grant FSU with Auburn's luck/miracles.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:15 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 11:17 PM ^
That right there is what FSU needed. Now put a TD on the board.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:17 PM ^
auburn was gonna recover that fumble. it woulda been fitting
January 6th, 2014 at 11:19 PM ^
Same here. I would have shut the TV off and went to bed.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:20 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 11:24 PM ^
Literally every one of his stats were better than Winston's I believe and Johnny played in a better conference. So it isn't a stretch to believe that to be true.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:26 PM ^
They're a thing. Johnny got no love from the voters this year.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:17 PM ^
All right Famous punch it in right now.
January 6th, 2014 at 11:17 PM ^
Heisman curse?
