bowl games are hard to predict you guys

It's because the system sucks (read:  isn't that great) outside of conference play.  Other reasons:

1)  Coaching changes
2)  Injuries
3)  "Want to"

Title game thoughts:

Florida State is the best rushing team in the ACC.
FSU has not faced the 2nd best rushing team (Georgia Tech). Also, the 3rd best rushing team (Boston College) scored 34 points and ran for 200 yds (4.4 YPP) against FSU.
FSU shut everybody else down, but they really did not face another team that likes to run.

Still, FSU held good offensive teams Miami and Clemson to 14 points each, and Duke and Nevada to 7 points each.

Auburn is the best offense FSU has faced all year. Florida State is the best defense Auburn has faced all year. The reason snowbrag is predicting a blowout is that Auburn has a pretty shitty defense and FSU has quite literally never been slowed down this entire season by anyone.

#1 Florida State (SOS #95)
W - 18 Clemson

#9 Auburn (SOS #25)
W - 7 Alabama

W - 38 Mississippi
W - 70 Arkansas State
