I see this game as a toss up. Give me AU all day.

I'm a believer in this FSU team, but I still think they're underselling Auburn. Nobody can stop this offense, and I think it's going to take an off season to figure out how to.

I think Winston gets badly rattled playing a SEC team. Auburn wins by 10.

Wow that seems high. FSU has looked dominant but, as we see time and time again, the more tested (SEC) team in the championship game just seems better prepared for the national stage.

Winston and Co. have not been pushed this year AT ALL.

The only question I have is if the 30 day layoff will give Jimbo and staff time to draw something up to stop that offense. As mediocre as Auburn's defense is, it will probably be the best one FSU has seen all year.

What's FSU's OLine like? If they give Winston 3-4 seconds, FSU puts up 55+.

FSU has a couple of receivers that look like Mizzou's. And Winston looks more accurate than Franklin.

Having said that, does FSU have any way to stop the most dominant rushing offense this millenium? I don't know.

That may be one of the worst spreads I've ever seen.

I still think that Bama finds a way to jump into the show.

As of last night, Auburn's strength of schedule was ranked 15th.

FSU's is 84th. They haven't played anybody yet, and Clemson got raped by SC, so they don't count. Miami got beat by Duke, so they don't count. FSU hasn't played anyone yet.

If I was gambling man, id take Auburn all day and those 9.5 points. FSU hasnt had a team really try to outphysical them all season(well except for the UF which wasnt even a fair fight)

I think when the odds-makers start to think about the fact that Auburn's offense has run all over the best defenses in the SEC, that the SEC has won the NC the last 7 years and that FSU really hasn't played against any decent offenses other than Clemson or defenses other than VT, the point spread will start closing leading up to this game.

Per R.J. Bell of pregame.com, the Las Vegas Hilton opened Florida State as a full seven-point favorite over Auburn.

Florida State opens up as 7-point favorite vs. Auburn

In 2001--the last time FSU was in the BCS title game they were an 11.5 pt favorite over Oklahoma. However, Oklahoma won 13-2.
