This is the end of the BCS era and it looks to be a great finale to what was a controversial 16 years of the BCS. Next year college football is moving to a 4-team playoff and many people are excited about it. However, there is one more game to play. Tonight, for maybe once in a few years, the two best teams in college football will play for the National Championship. There is no doubt that Auburn and Florida State are the best teams in the land. Auburn is a dynamic running team, while Florida State is probably more balanced on offense. They are lead by Freshman sensation and Heisman winner Jameis Winston. Winston is a beast and can make plays happen at any time. He is a great leader and is the heart of this FSU team. He has a great set of WR in Kelvin Benjamin, Kenny Shaw, Rashad Greene, and Nick O'Leary at Tight End. All the talk is on Jameis Winston, but there is another QB in this game that doesn't get a lot of press. Nick Marshall has done what he has needed to do and has made plays using his feet. He is a very solid Dual-Threat QB. He also has help with the best RB in the country in Tre Mason. Mason has been a monster this season, but he is going up against a stout defense in Florida State. The key matchup of the game is between the Auburn secondary and FSU's receivers. These two teams have very historic programs. Auburn is looking to win their 2nd National Championship in 4 years and the Seminoles are looking to capture their 3rd National Title.
My Season Picks Record: 34-20
My National Championship Pick: Auburn 34 Florida State 33
Gus Malzahn has done a terrific job with his team this season and I think it will all pay off tonight as they hoist the Crystal Ball. This game could come down to a few trick plays, and I think Auburn has the edge in that department. No team has been able to slow down the Tigers' rushing attack this season, and I think they will keep rolling tonight in a thriller.
