I pull for B1G teams during bowl season too, but I dont get why they care so much. I'm rooting for FSU over Oregon, but am not going to go crazy if they win because they aren't my team.

And then people say.."well it helps OSU". Well the B1G was perceived as being incredibly weak this season, but even OSU with a loss to 6-6 VT still made the playoffs. As "weak" as it was made out to be, it still didnt hurt OSU.

Because it was a big exciting game (before they see a big exciting game) and the team they were rooting for made a huge comeback to win in dramatic fashion.

Aguayo is the best kicker in the country. Can probably hit a 55-yarder.

Jameis is getting more comfortable. He's missed some easy throws, but they really haven't gotten much production from the passing game.

FSU is a frustrating team lol

That fumble in a huge spot, the dropped int, the fourth down fail down at the one inch line.

Although this is what they do

Winston heating up. There are some gashes in the Oregon secondary. In both team's defenses actually.

Oregon D strategy is no good. Not blitzing and still not keeping the receivers covered

2 Cook turnovers, 2 Oregon TD's. That's tough even for a team of destiny to overcome.

It's FSU. It is probably over, but you can never count FSU out.

They can't stop Oregon. This isn't a weak ACC team they are playing.
