Just read a decent analysis - what stuck with me most is if Auburn's secondary can shut down the pass attack AND Auburn can keep it close until the 4th quarter they have a chance. FSU isn't used to playing close games that go 4 quarters.

"Jameis Winston vs. Auburn’s secondary. This is the major mismatch on paper. Winston leads the nation in pass efficiency and probably has the best receiving corps in the country in Rashad Greene, Kenny Shaw, Kelvin Benjamin and tight end Nick O’Leary. Auburn ranks 61st in pass-efficiency defense and was beaten for big plays by Missouri in the SEC championship game and by Alabama for a 98-yard bomb. Tigers defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson said Florida State runs deeper routes than many teams – double moves and more intermediate routes – which necessitates Winston holding the ball a little longer. He said pass rush will be key to not letting him luxuriate, but even then, Winston is elusive and can make big throws on the run. Hence Auburn’s defenders must stick with their men during extended plays.
“(Winston) has the ability to throw every pass,” Johnson said. “And he can get out of trouble. He knows if it’s not completely clean, he’ll start moving.
“Sometimes, we’ll play unhooked. Our secondary is like our defense as a whole. They’ll give up some cheap plays. They’ve also made some unbelievable plays.
“When they make the plays they’ve made at key times, you’ve got to trust them.”
Or you can trust the Heisman winner and his NFL wideouts."
