You guys are forgetting that the other option is letting the Heisman winning QB have the ball with 1:20 to go and 4 downs to get a 1st.
It's an easy question.
Do I trust my defense to stop in a 4 down system with 2 time outs, and 1:20 to go, or do I trust my offense to score a TD from the 1 yard line?
You take the knee. Sure you might lose the game but guess what (you did anyways).
It's funny that you talk about how stupid you'd look if you didnt' score a TD and missed an extra point fg to lose, but you dont' think it's a big deal they gave up a TD drive with 1:20 left.
There's about a 1% chance Auburn doesn't put up any points if they take a knee after mason's run, there's about a 40% chance FSU gets a TD drive with 2 TO's, a hot QB, and 1:20 to go.
Take the knee and take the conservative option, don't expect your D to make a stop they haven't been able to make the past few drives, when FSU was only using 3 downs to get 1sts.

but the problem remains fsu has two time outs.
now the heads up play night have been to stop on the one and wait but then scored.
probably been a flag though for taunting.

The problem with that suggestion is that as a coach, you don't know that your player is about to bust a big 37-yard run all the way to the end zone. It would be up to that player to stop and kneel at the 1 when everything in the world instinctively is telling him to power it in the end zone with just over a minute left in the national championship with his team trailing.
It wasn't like Auburn's D was a joke all game either. They had sacked and hit Winston a number of times. That short pass that turned into 49 yards was the killer. Auburn didn't give up many huge plays on the day and that was the killer. FSU just gutted it out. It happens sometimes.
