The SEC can suck it.
The problem is...so can FSU.
I'm not sure if rooting for a serious underdog miracle team to pull off another miracle and beat FSU is worth it...when that team is from the SEC.
I mean, they beat Alabama...and for that I will be eternally grateful.
Is that enough for me to suspend "the SEC can suck it!" for one night?
Is it worth, if Auburn somehow wins, having to hear about how great the SEC is for yet another year?
Fish on...
Todd

I think Jameis is a punk (see any footage of him walking from team bus to locker room), and very likely walked on a rape charge because he's a football player.
I'm rooting for Auburn.

Hard to pick this one. Spread is 9 to 10.5 I'd prolly take Auburn and the points.
I've always liked FSU...Coach Bowden built some great teams and at 80-something is still sharp as a tack. Fun to listen to. Coach Fisher looks to have built another SEC buster.
Coach Malzahn was the man behind the curtain during the Chizik era. He's the man now and brings his up-tempo read option designed to blow up SEC-type defenses.
FSU uses such a defense.
Should be a good one.

I don't really care who wins or loses this. No love for either team. What I'm happy for is this is the last of this BCS format. I'm looking forward to the four team play-off starting next year. In my perfect college football world scenario, it will expand to eight teams sometime in the future. SF

After Jan 1st and the Rose Bowl I pretty much could care less what the fat people in NY think should be the NC game. I don't think I've watched a single one.
As much as I love college football once Jan 2 rolls around I take off my college hat and put on my NFL hat!

Can I root for an earthquake to swallow the whole stadium?
IMO and realistically, FSU is going to roll the Tigers. My heart would like Auburn to win it, just because of how their season has turned out with (2) all time game winning plays to get there. That fact and that they raw dogged Saban on Nat'l TV in the most awesome way possible, which wins MEGA bonus points. But I just know I couldn't handle another SEC team winning it...again. So...
FSU 45 - Auburn 34

I think we're pretty much on the same page, Nick...except I think I'll root a bit harder for Auburn than FSU...but I'll defnitely be rooting for the earthquake the hardest.
If Auburn can stay within 20 I'll be surprised...that FSU offense is pretty potent.
Fish on...

Ok...watching the pre-game and saw highlights of Auburn beating Alabama, and it made me love Auburn all over again...I'm definitely rooting for them tonight, SEC be damned.
Fish on...

I don't like that they interview the coaches after the coin toss and before the kick-off. Let em' coach damn it. The dudes got like $1 million dollar bonuses riding on this crap. Jeez ESPN...

Does anyone know the name of the song with the horn section ESPN plays going to commercial?

Pusberger is looking for a big play for FSU so he can shoot his load on Winston. I hate the Pusberger more than anyone in sports.
