It's better than the 21 point spread they had against Miami. That's as much respect as they'll give, I guess.

Remember when Alabama destroyed Miami in the Sugar Bowl and it signaled the end of their dominance? I hope the same thing happens this year to end the SEC streak. I'm sick and tired of SEC fans rooting for each other in these games. It was understandable in 2006 and 2007 when people were still questioning the strength of the conference. That's not the case anymore. The SEC has nothing more to prove so it's pointless rooting for other conference teams to win these games. I hope Auburn gets embarrassed in the BCS NCG.

Actually I was worried but the last 2 weeks have showed FSU is not as good as advertised. Go ahead and tell me how great FSU is but this game is going to end the same way AU vs. Oregon did. The country is going to see how over rated FSU is.

AU will control the clock and rush for over 400yds on FSU. SEC remains on top.

Oregon was a few plays away from beating Auburn. I don't think they were overrated at all

You're teetering on the edge of going full Updyke. Just go ahead and kill something already.

A few plays but it is still a loss. The game hype leading up to the game was how great the Oregon offense was and AU did not have the defense to stop them.

Don't take me wrong FSU is good but I am not buying in they are 8.5 points favorites. From what I have seen I will take that bet all day and will.

Good luck hoping that. I don't see anyone shutting down this offense.

I like Jimbo and FSU. They could win, but I'd be very surprised if they embarrass Auburn. This ain't no ACC team.

Actually, the comparison should be the other way around. Auburn has a lot more in common with 2010 Oregon than they do with 2010 Auburn.

Rooting against a team is all you have left. It's great.

FSU has the athletes to stop Auburn's run game and force us to pass. They also have a nasty offense and it's going to put Auburn to the test. Really concerned about this matchup, quite honestly. Enjoying the ride, though

Defense wins championships and FSU has the D.

FSU 42
AUB 27

FSU has a LSU passing game with a better D.

In 2010 and 2013 no one gave AU a chance. Even as they continued to roll on. Leading up to the BCSCG everyone said their offense was one dimensional and their defense could not stop Oregon.

In 2010 they had Cam and I guess you could say Dyer as their top offensive duo, Marshall and Mason overall are better in my opinion. Not saying either one is better than Cam but together they are the best in the country right now.

The only difference is I believe AU was the favorite going in. FSU has yet seen a team with their quickness in my opinion. And FSU definitely has not faced a team that can control the clock or rush like AU has. I see FSU defense a lot like UGA's last year. A lot of talent but undisciplined and once they get hit in the mouth and knocked down I do not see them recovering. Again just my opinion.

FSU has no weakness that I see. They have serious talent and their offense is legit.

However, they've seen nothing close to this offensive attack in the ACC. Do you think Bama had the talent to force Auburn to pass? 296 rushing yards... If you can do that against Bama, you can do it against anyone. FSU does have an advantage though with having a month to prepare strictly for this offense.

It should be a really good game.

UGA had them and were even better to stop UA's run last year in Atlanta but could not. FSU's defense does not have the athletes or talent(close) that UGA had last year. AU's run offense this year is better than UA's last year.
