30-40% might be more fair factoring in the JW (Heisman curse) - young QB factor.

Who knows what is going on his head. But he is very young and raw...and the burden of the Heisman winner -

JW could have a bad game.

Auburn's offense relies more like a well-tuned machine...FSU relies on JW being fantastic.

My concern for Auburn is their very ugly ways of winning. Recent champions had less close calls and more apparent dominance throughout the year. Even a 2 loss LSU champion imo. Still, they are in the game and it is good for college football and the bcs imo. However, the reason for doubt from onlookers should be apparent even to die hard auburn fans. Even if they win the championship, current doubt about the team is still justified.

Also, the guy with almost 40k posts on an internet forum calling someone dumb is cute.

Lol, the only "fact" is both Williams, and Mason are great backs. 1,500+ yard rushers don't come very often. I responded to a gentleman saying, "FSU hasn't played anyone with a rushing pulse." Boston college is not a good team by any means, but they have a solid run game.


But yeah, good point or whatever you were trying to get across.

That is the same reason I feel like AU is gonna win.

FSU "should win". They have three guys who could play in the NFL at WR, one of the better TEs in the country, at least three NFL OL, and NFL players all over the defense.


But they haven't been tested. Boston College did behind Andre Williams, and that was the only good RB they've really faced. AU is gonna hit em with a great RB, two more good RBs, and a good QB. The only thing is I don't think Coates is gonna find himself open behind the defense like he tends to do for big plays. The FSU DBs have insane eye discipline.

Not really.

LSU was down to Arkansas, UF, Alabama, Auburn, & Tennessee at some point during the 4th quarter that year. They needed 4th quarter comeback wins against 4 and 4th quarter comeback to tie Arkansas.

Right, because I did not say in my opinion.

Let's play. Rivalry game and Georgia didn't. And Auburn was up 37-17 in the 4th quarter and should have put their foot down. They didn't. But did follow it up by beating two top 5 teams in back-to-back weeks. FSU struggled early with Duke.

thats exactly my point too... its not that I think FSU isnt a good team. I just think we have already beat better. should be a good game and if it comes down to a break or two I like the way the ball has been bouncing!
