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.
