Florida State's impressive bowl history vs. Auburn's "magic"

Longest bowl streak in the nation and it isn't even close. During that streak their bowl record is 23-7-1, including 5-0 in the last five.
FSU's BCS record is atrocious at 2-5. Record against the SEC in BCS Era is 1-3 (way to go, Carolina).
I want Auburn to win but FSU seems the most likely team to finally end the SEC's streak. Auburn has had a damn fine year since the LSU game but I don't see another miracle come January. This isn't the Ducks or Notre Dame. FSU is legit. I'm afraid the SEC streak is going to end in Pasadena.
Apparently, Vegas agrees as the lines started out with Auburn as a 8.5 point dog. Florida was a 7 point dog to Ohio State and they blew the doors off the Buckeyes. LSU was a 6.5 point dog to Oklahoma and held on for the win. Florida was a 5 point dog to Oklahoma (no respect for Urban, eh?). So Auburn is the biggest SEC dog in the BCS era but certainly not the first.
If the SEC streak has to come to an end, I won't be upset about FSU being the team that does it. I can respect what they've done over the years. So long as Auburn makes them earn it and doesn't get Nebraska'd like that other team from Florida did.

When has FSU played an SEC team in a bowl game in recent years? The only one I can think of is UGA in the Sugar Bowl in 2002.

History isn't going to mean shite once the ball is kicked

While I agree that it seems like FSU is a strong opponent, lumping 2010/11 Oregon in with Notre Dame is absurd.

I'm not sure which Tiger you represent so here are my responses.
LSU fan: Well frick you, you losing to Clemson in that same bowl made the off-season unbearable last year.
Mizzou fan: Well frick you, 27-24
AU fan: Well frick you, if you guys hadn't beaten us in 2010 we wouldn't have had to play them.

And Auburn has never lost a BCS bowl game.

Missouri was favored against us too.

If FSU beats Auburn, it won't be because of some bowl stat we've abstracted from some little bit of arbitrary data. It will be because their players lined up against our players on January 6th and beat us more times than not. Screw this history shite.

frickers better hope they keep us under 30 or it's over.

No "magic" was involved in outcoaching Saban and outplaying UA's overrated dimwits.
