To say AU had to have a miracle to beat UA is comical... If it had went to OT AU was running the ball at will...

Who knows what to expect from FSU, but there are plenty of reasons for Auburn to feel they've got a good shot:
1) Pattern of SEC teams being more physically and mentally prepared in title games
2) FSU's weak schedule
3) FSU's struggle against a top back
4) Auburn's experience in emotional, high-pressure games
5) Relative lack of finesse required for Auburn's offensive success
6) Youth/hype/distraction for FSU
I do think the blowouts are troubling, but I think there is a mental component that gets overlooked when an underpowered conference is so dominated by one team. I think Alabama has been helped by this when playing over matched but capable teams like Arky in previous years, where they just look terrified from kickoff forward.
