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

just pounded the tar out of that east coast powerhouse, Duke.

The streak is impressive, but there has also been an outragious amount of luck involved. Any time someone backs into a title game its always an SEC team. It also helps when you play half the games almost at home.
Also everyone conveniently forgets that Alabama only beat Texas because McCoy got hurt. If he doesn't get hurt they destroy Alabama without a doubt.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:51 PM ^
This is ridiculous. I'm sick of the SEC stuff, but maybe they're right...when you don't play quality competition until now it doesn't end well.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:51 PM ^
Sooo...is it too early to welcome our SEC overlords?
January 6th, 2014 at 9:54 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 10:12 PM ^
And they're called ESPN.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:51 PM ^
You think Malzahn would leave Auburn for Michigan?
January 6th, 2014 at 9:53 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 10:08 PM ^
We had someone similar. Unfortunetly he didn't care about defense, recruiting every position of need, and wasn't a stoic renisance man who was from the Bo tree.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:51 PM ^
Boo SEC but it looks like an Auburn blowout!
January 6th, 2014 at 9:52 PM ^
...as outlined by Smart Football's preview on Auburn's offense.

Every single Alabama fan I know wants FSU to win Brent.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:52 PM ^
man, this is nuts.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:52 PM ^
Well I guess it's a great thing Michigan State beat Ohio State after all.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:53 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:53 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:53 PM ^
But speaking of how good the SEC, does anyone not thing MSU could play with either of these teams?
January 6th, 2014 at 9:56 PM ^
They couldn't. Too much speed/athleticism on either team.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:56 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:56 PM ^
Ah, here is the state nut-hugging that's been missing so far this week on the board.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:59 PM ^
1. MSU gets 3 stars and coaches them up enough to be able to play with the top 3 teams in teh country. Our coaches can't do it with higher ranked talent.
2. I'm extremely jealous of MSU.
January 6th, 2014 at 10:05 PM ^
Don't tell me to go there. Tell our coaches to do their jobs as well as the team northwest of us.
January 6th, 2014 at 10:07 PM ^
Tell me more about your college football coaching experience.
January 6th, 2014 at 10:10 PM ^
Tell me more about how all our recruiting stars will translate into 13-1 seasons and rose bowl wins. After all, all those stars we had during the 2000s sure racked up all those rose bowl wins!
January 6th, 2014 at 10:28 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:59 PM ^
I wish I could give you eleventy-billion up votes for this.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:57 PM ^
FSU has a better defense than MSU on paper (they're #2; MSU is #4), and they're getting trucked, so no, this doesn't sell me on Sparty.
January 6th, 2014 at 10:00 PM ^
Delusion.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:54 PM ^
FSU is getting worked.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:54 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:56 PM ^
Its to the point where I almost have to avoid watching SEC teams play. The announcing is that bad.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:57 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:55 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:55 PM ^
Uh oh, FSU channeling their inner MORK
January 6th, 2014 at 9:55 PM ^
BALLS Jimbo has BALLS
January 6th, 2014 at 9:55 PM ^
Ballsy call

January 6th, 2014 at 9:58 PM ^
Is it a law for any team with the word "state" in their name to play weak schedules?
January 6th, 2014 at 9:56 PM ^
An obviously good time for a fake. FSU is desperate at this point. A field goal does minimal; they need a TD.
