The way BCS Bowls have gone, I am leaning towards taking Auburn and the 8.5.

The way my picks went on Wild Card weekend, including the two Bowl Games, I'm leaning towards taking bribes from the two fan bases to not pick either team!

 

[Red_Alert]

In Bowl Mania I've lost the last 7 bowl games in a row. I've lost 8 out of the last 11.

Prior to that I was in 2nd/3rd place for a long time.

I think the football gods are punishing me for picking Georgia over Nebraska.

That doesn't bode well for FSU.

Looking at all the stats on the bowls, it looks horrible for FSU. I saw some where that like 7 of the last 8 championships were won by the #2 team. Fuck!!!!

Not to mention FSU has the Heisman winner. I think that's been a jinx at times because of all the distractions that go along with it.

The era ending is the SEC's NC run. It's over...done...nadda...kaput.

I think to a point, but judging by what Winston has gone through this season, I think he can handle the distractions. Jimbo seems to keep him focused.

Florida State should win this game hands down. That team has no weaknesses and that's why Auburn will win. FSU has had such an easy run this year and when they get put under stress, they are going to fold like a cheap tent.

History says otherwise regarding undefeated teams that have won every game by the spreads FSU has won by.

Of course there's a reason they put erasers on pencils.

been hearing that for the past 6 years.

The streak probably would have ended at 5 if Bama had not been awarded a rematch, Ok. St should have played LSU and Stanford should have played Bama. Both LSU and Bama might have lost that year, but the rematch assured that an SEC team would win #6.

The last 6 winners have been favored not sure what you're looking at.

Never mind your talking rankings not Vegas. The Vegas line is in my head right now haunting me and giving me stomach ulcers.

 

[podsox]

spreads up to 10.5. extremely tough game to wager on. if fsu can stop auburns running game its a blow out. if they cant they might lose. I have no idea what im going to do

You caught yourself, but this makes me feel a lot better. Thanks!!! I was really nervous. Then there was the fact that the highest you've scored off a top 37 rush defesne was 28 points on offense. Our lowest score was 37 by the top 8 defense and Auburn is at 87. Unless you some how hold us to less than 30 points, is doesn't seem good for you.

 

[ArrogantBAMAFan]

The SEC run ends tonight.

 

[offshore1509]

The SEC run ends tonight.

I really hope so.

 

[ArrogantBAMAFan]

I really hope so.

I don't hope so, I'm just being realistic.

 

[UNA Lion]

The SEC run ends tonight.

Unless every single Auburn player and coach made a deal with this guy:

... yeah, pretty much.
