Florida

The Florida Gators are can possibly slip into the BCS Championship picture by beating Florida State and hoping something “special” happens.  They need help but first of all they need to win convincingly this weekend, something that won’t be easy in Tallahassee.  

They have lost to the Seminoles the last two years but it has been awhile since both teams were this good and the game had this much meaning.

If Florida is going to win and keep their hopes alive they are going to need vastly improved play from the quarterback position.  This week Jacoby Brissett might get another chance with Jeff Driskel still gimpy.  He was adequate last week but that was against Jacksonville State not Florida State.  The defense may have to lead the way once again if Florida is going to win this one.

There is a ton riding on this one and for the first time in a while the Gators are the underdog – a situation in which they are 2-0 SU and ATS this year.  I think the defense can sufficiently limit the FSU offense to keep this one within a score, even on the road.  

I might even put a few units on the Gators to pull the outright upset. [soliloquy id=”82219″]

Florida State

The Seminoles are also on the outside looking in but still have to be considered among teams with one loss who still have a shot at this thing.  The big opportunity for them is this week against rival Florida as their likely opponent in the ACC Championship game won’t have that much juice – even if they slaughter them.  

This squad has to be kicking themselves for losing to NC State but has to be focused this week.

Since that loss the Seminoles have won 5 in a row but only covered twice during that span.  They also possess an elite defense but have been able to put up some points too – you probably didn’t know this team was 7th in the nation in scoring (I know I didn’t).  They are really balanced too with more than 200 yards on the ground and through the air per game.  

I am not a big E.J. Manuel guy but he has improved as a senior and is able to move which will be critical against Florida

Heading into the season this was supposed to be the game that was going to determine just how good a year the Seminoles could have.  In many ways it still is and the program is looking for some credibility after beating up on a weak ACC this season.  

Two great defenses so going with the more polished and experienced offensive team makes sense.
