The Auburn War Eagles come in having won the rugged and unpredictable SEC as they shock in-state rival Alabama and the week before that the Georgia Bulldogs. Then they took out a darn good Mizzou Team in the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta. That Auburn Offense looks like the Chicago Spaghetti Bowl where all the Expressways meet in the middle going every which way. Now we get the 'Noles and War Eagles to settle this thing near the "City of Angels"...go figure!

Note: The Seminoles placed 17 players on the All-ACC 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Team All Conference...
The Seminoles are as balanced as a Team can get equally adept at the Passing game and Run Game. They have Trio of RBs (Freeman, Karlos Williams, James Wilder Jr.) and WRs (Greene, Kelvin Benjamin, Kenny Shaw) that are all Monsters and Winston and FSU will go to them at anytime not preferring one over the other. The War Eagles must stop the Run Game as their Pass "D" is suspect with CB Chris Davis being their best CB. They have to blitz Winston up the middle if they can get home to make him uncomfortable.
The War Eagles Offense is so explosive as 'Bama did the best job in stopping it and don't think FSU Lead Man Jimbo Fisher hasn't talked to his ex-Boss Nick Saban (at LSU) about how to defend that Auburn Read-Option. QB Nick Marshal is all of that and in space a Monster as well as All-American and 2013 Heisman Finalist RB Tre' Mason. Can the War Eagles throw on arguably the best Secondary in Major College Football with not one but two All-Americans at CB led by All-World CB LeMarcus Joyner?
I know I am giving the 'Noles a lot of praise but have seen them play in 2013?
