I think FSU has more athletes to match up on defense than Mizzou did, especially at DT and in the back 7.

FSU has as good of a running game as Mizzou at first blush. Winston is an upgrade over Franklin. The receivers might be a notch below Mizzou, but it doesn't take much to get open against Auburn's secondary.

Solid analysis...

BC's "OK" running game as in Andre Williams, Heisman finalist with 2100 yards and 17 TDs, averaging 175 ypg this season? He had 149 of BC's 200 yards total rushing that game...not sure I'd call that "stuggling" with the running game. FSU struggled early in that game but we won by 2 TDs.

FSU's top 3 receivers are nationally ranked 59th, 63d, and 66th. Missouri's are 80, 86th, and ? on CFB Stats and I get the "against SEC defenses argument" but I'm not sure I'd put them below Mizzou's.

FSU's D is a little bit better but the edge goes to Mizzou in the running games...also based on CFB's stats. ANd yes, I get the SOS arguments. Not taking anything away from Mizzou at all, great team. I'm a FSU homer and Bama fan so of course I think that FSU handles AU.
