    Also, I don't mind if you post parlays, teasers, or round robins, but these plays will not be reflected in the standings.

    I'm torn on this game. I really wanted to see PSU in the championship game against either Texas or USC because PSU can play defense and possibly slow those offenses down. I hate 45-40 type of games, which we might get in the title game between Texas and USC.

    PSU is clearly a better team, but I've always felt the layoff before the bowl games hurts the more talented teams and bridges the gap. FSU can play defense for sure. They did a nice job against Va. Tech, and if the QB doesn't turn the ball over (a big if, since he led the ACC in picks), I see this one going down to the wire and maybe not being a high-scoring game. PSU, 20-17.

    I will be rooting for PSU though. I hope I don't do too good of a job.

    I am concerned about internal happenings at FSU but I will give Bowden the benefit of the doubt and assume he will have his team mentally and physically ready. If their heads aren't in the game, it will be a rout for PSU. If they get early momentum or nothing bad happens to them, then the game will be close.

    Well, I took it in the ass on this one, and am probably going to do so on the second half total (amounts to under 49.5) unless it ends up exactly 26-23.
