In looking at the spread this is supposed to be a coronation for Florida State but Auburn has been showing all season long that they won’t be denied. They just seem to have a knack for making huge winning plays.

Florida State

There is no doubt that Florida State is the most deserving team of a spot in the Championship game.

They have had a perfect season in terms of record and almost darn near perfect otherwise too considering they enter this season with the top scoring offense and top defense in terms of points allowed…and they have the Heisman Trophy winner in QB Jameis Winston. I don’t know if anyone has ever had those kind of numbers before and when you see the Seminoles play ou can see why.

When they have the ball they are loaded with speed on the outside and a stable of quality running backs that enable them to attack however they want and Winston is the cherry on top. From the first time he stepped on the field he has been terrific.

On defense this team reminds of the FSU of old. They are allowing just 10ppg and just once gave up more than 17 points this season, They swarn to the ball and are the reason many think this won’t be close.

Auburn

Time after time this season the Auburn Tigers just would not be denied. Sure the missed FG return againast Alabama was huge but that was just one of 5 games they won by 8 points or less in the SEC. In the toughest conference in America you can easily make the case they are the toughest team.

The Tigers have benefitted from some miracle plays this season but the reason they won was because they are one of the best running teams in the country. In fact they finished tops in the nation at 335 ypg, covering for a passing game that is poor and a defense that is mediocre at best. Their fate in this game will depend on whether that running game feature Tre Mason and Nick Marshall can have enough success against FSU.

If the answer is yes then we have a ball game. If not than the Noles will steadily pull away from Auburn and the Tigers are not good at catchup.

Spread Pick: Florida State -9
