Result:
LOSS

I think that last year there was a lot of pressure on Florida State. They were clearly the best team in the country, and they have come back to go unbeaten again, running the string to 29 straight wins, although many have not come so easy this season. They keep getting battered by the media that they are not that good, and fell to #4 in the playoff race despite being the only unbeaten team, and ultimately finished third. There is a lot that think they aren't good, but that is because everyone compares them to last year. The fact is they know how to win, and love him or hate him, Jameis Winston delivers when he needs to, and is certainly a winner. Oregon has a strong offense and a Hesiman trophy QB of their own, but took a huge hit when Ifo-Ekpre-Olomu went down. He is their best defender, and Winston is very good and will find the void. I think this game is going to be going to the wire, and carrying a bundle of points with Florida State is going to be a nice thing to have when it gets late in this game. The Noles have been one of the best Bowl teams ever, and currently own an 8-1-1 ATS mark in their last 10. The Ducks mega offense hasn't quite translated in Bowl games as they have averaged just 32.2 points per game in their last five. Make the play on Florida State.
