re: Florida State is from the weakest AQ conference..

I have been watching Auburn's offensive line shove people around all season.

So has the Noles' Oline, and AU's defense is flat out bad. There's no way around it.
Again, FSU looks a lot more like the SEC team in this matchup.

Or, do you think Jeremy Pruitt is a better defensive mind than any coach in the SEC with athletes far better than Bama?

They do have athletes far better than Bama on the Dline, and at the corners.

So everyone outside of the SEC who is tired of seeing the SEC win the national championship thinks FSU will win? Color me shocked.

Vegas doesn't give a frick what conference wins.

This is the second time I'll post this. I don't expect you to change your mind as to who you think will win the game, but maybe you can at least get a clue as to why people expect an FSU win, instead of writing it off as people being haters, or whatever bullshite is floating around between your ears.
Why Vegas thinks FSU>AU

The point, as White or Fuhrman or Avello or anyone in Vegas would note, is not to knock Auburn. It's just their jobs to discover the true talent level of teams so they can predict future performance as accurately as possible, and that process requires cutting the narrative layers that harden on top of each magnificent victory.

"In the end, winning is the name of the game, but beating Georgia took the hand of God, and beating Alabama also took some luck," Fuhrman told me.

I would suggest you read the whole thing, and then maybe try not to get all pissy when someone expects the team that is the heavy favorite to actually win.
