Oregon wins huge

FSU took advantage of an even more shitty than normal ACC, Gundy's worst team in ages, and a shit ND team. Four consecutive squeakers to end the season against mediocre to awful teams isn't impressive.
Ducks in a route, say 51-24?
Bama probably wins it all though.

I never blow sunshine. This is me trying to be as unbiased as I can. I think the other three teams in this along with TCU and Baylor would all beat FSU. They were a bad ass team last year, but they lost too much and their shit schedule let them coast into this thing.
Try eDuck, that's more your speed sleepy.
In total, I was quite impressed with what I saw at times from the ACC this year - including the last weekend of the regular season when they went 4-0 against the mighty SEC.
Oregon's the rightful favorite against Florida State, but at the same time, Florida State has a 2-year history of finding ways to win games. Oregon's going to have to play their best game of the year to win this one. I expect Famous Jameis to have a strong game for Florida St.
I like to bet against the field in this one and take FSU +10. It's what I like to do.
This is all about two things: Oregon being able to at least slow down FSU's run game - which they've been able to dial up here and there when necessary and game planning for interior pressure on Mariota. If Kelly's D can slow down Monte Ball, who was a nightmare, they might be able to do it with Cook. Don't know, but it's not impossible. If they do, I like their chances, because if I'm Oregon, I want Squinty Mcdipshit who still thinks he's in highschool to beat me in the air, where a mistake is much more likely.
Offensively, I have an immediate go-to package of getting Mariota out of the pocket on damn near every play and making FSUs D line pursue until THEY puke. I also make sure I find a fucking TE, like Mundt or SOMEBODY, to step up and give him a target in the seam. All of this will benefit Royce Freeman, who didn't need it anyway because he can fucking do it when you know it's coming.
Nobody at Oregon is taking FSU lightly. That's roogy roogy doo talk. Come on.
The "been there" shit is overrated. The reason Winston stays calm is that he doesn't give a shit about anything because he'd rather be at the corner store in the hood drinking a 40 oz. malt lickuh in a brown paper bag. They also got lucky at home against a horrible ND team who inexplicably ran a pick when the Admiral's son had been burning them all day running fade routes. Blame that one on Kelly. He got what he deserved, but he handed that one to FSU - him and his piece of shit QB.
If you can put the game in dummy's hands, Oregon has a shot. If Dalvin Cook runs for over a buck fity, it's done before it starts.
Finally, one last thing - they've been holding back with Mariota. With two games to go and the trophy in the case, there is no reason to keep doing that. They turn him the fuck loose in this game and, if applicable, the next. He's the best running QB in the playoff by a wide margin.
Aren't half of the Pac-12 in the Top 25 right now? When the fuck has that happened in the last bazillion years?
Also Sparty is in the Top 10, so this would basically be Dantonio's second best season ever.
You're better than this Sven. Start drinking now, Gundy just had a shit season and needs to show everyone he's still a man.
I suppose it was harder in the old days when there were like 7 dreck teams in the conference. Fuck.
