Florida State v. Notre Dame in Champs Sports Bowl

PrintFlorida State now knows its bowl destination: The Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando, FL, on December 29th. The Champs Sports Bowl featuring FSU and Notre Dame will kickoff at 5:30 EST and will be televised by ESPN. Who will the Seminoles play inn the Champs Sports Bowl? The Notre Dame Fighting Irish. FSU hasn't played in the Champs Sports Bowl since 2008, and the 'Noles have not faced Notre Dame since 2003, winning 37-0 in South Bend.
Both the 'Noles and Irish had disappointing seasons this year, for a variety of reasons (injuries, turnovers, poor play, coaching etc.). But both teams also played well above their respective 8-4 records. The Seminoles lost their four games by an average of five points, while winning their 7 against division-1 competition by an average of 24. Unlike FSU, Notre Dame was soundly beaten twice (by 14 to USC and by 14 to Stanford), but did lose two games by a combined seven points.

Lol!!!
Maybe you can help “tame” the Lynch’s before kickoff.
Remember what happened to Lebrons game once he found out West was putting work in on his mother (side note, West is disgusting for tackling that amazon).

Which of the two of us would turn on more TV sets nationally?
They're in league with ESPN...
and the Conference Bowl contest…. Want to avoid the ACC having too many wins, and keep the SEC as the league bully that never has to actually fight anyone but themselves.
I've considered this
nobody protects their image like the SEC. It would be curious to know what goes on behind closed doors, but they don’t want an ACC team beating 2 of the “good brand” SEC teams back to back for 2 years in a row.
Chick Fil-a: “We’re going to ask Florida State”
SEC: “No don’t do that. They were here last year. Change it up”
Chick Fil-a: “They’re worth an extra 2 million over anybody else we can get”
SEC: “We’ll cover that $$”
Of course, te ACC has a contrac with ESPN too.

Really it's because the City of Tampa did a poor job accomodating fans during the classic
All the malls closed at 5pm the day of the game, many restaurants closed early, and the Downtown/Ybor area was exactly hospitalbe to many of the alumni associations in the area. FAMU and BCC for years complained of how the city fed into racial stereotypes in how they handled the classic instead of realizing how much of a commercial gold mind the game brought.
Disney, however, did know and played a big role in moving it to Orlando.

is the flag you speak of on private property?
I think I remember that thing from when I lived there back in the 1990’s.
Come and see the violence inherent in the system!!!
Its owned by Sons of the Confederacy
It is private property, but size and visibility of the flag has always been the consitutional issues. Tampa generally allows SOC to wave the flag, but can regulate when they are allowed to wave it like when the Super Bowl was in Tampa recently and city ordered them to take it down.
That flag has since been changed.
Every time i would have someone coming to visit me here in LO’L that was the point at which they called me and asked “Where the hell am I going?!”
Saw Peter Warrick play once. The rest is history...
They just alternate
between the different flags of the Confederacy.

About as much chance as they have of beating a bad SEC team that will make our league look bad.
London has done a great job this year, including beating us fair and square, but I bet UVA gets smoked. I still think we’d match up much better against any SEC team than them.
AU would sell it out playing against an Alaskan prison team.

The biggest advantage teams that run an Option Style Offense have is, it is something other teams do not see very often.
If you have to play a team that runs the option on a shot week, it is quite often a recipe for disaster. The extra time you get to prepare for a bowl game can really help mitigate their advantage. Since stopping the option is mostly about knowing, and taking care of your assignments, the extra time to prepare for it is very helpful.
That extra time can really help a team be more prepared for an offense, that it would usually be the least prepared for.
I don’t know if that is why GATech has done poorly in bowl games, but I suspect it is at least part of the story. Let them play those same teams with only 7 days to prepare for them, and the results would probably be quite different.
That said, give all the teams that GATech plays during the year a bye week right before they play them, and the results from those games would probably be quite different also.

Miami chose to remove itself from bowls this season.
They could make an argument that they were trying to minimize the coming sanctions and get back into $$$ sooner rather than later.

What other ACC school would've filled up the Champs as well as FSU?
Same for UF and the Gator? The only realistic alternative for the SEC is UGA and UGA already played in Jacksonville this year and it’s not nearly as enticing of a matchup as OSU vs. UF.

But can you name me better matchups and fanbases? You’re likely to get more ND fans buying hotels against an FSU than any of the ACC alternatives. I already said why UGA to Jacksonville wasn’t a good idea. They’re still going to Tampa which is a good location for them.

That in itself wouldn’t stop the Chick -Fil-A Bowl from picking us. Fanbases like UVA get passed up for bowls all the time.
I’m thinking the Champs really wanted us and was able to cut some deal. The idea that the CFA folks wanted a winnable game for Auburn to build them up for next year’s opener in Atlanta is interesting too.
I think some variation on the theme you mentioned about the Champs is why we ended
up there.

IDK what the reason is…but there has to be a reason why, with everything equal, FSU would not be picked over UVA…what is the over under for UVA fans and TV ratings. If there was a deal made, I hope we do not have to share that extra money. Sucks for us, Atlanta and the GA Dome is exponentially better than the Citrus Bowl and Orlando.
The only ting I can think of, is that they expect Auburn to buy up every extra ticket and sell those hotel rooms, which we all know, that UVA will not, and if your gonna throw a dog a bone, pick GT (at least there is a reasonable explanation)
Why do people care so much?
Serious question. It’s not a BCS game. The matchup is the same or better in the Champs. We don’t get anymore or anyless money by playing in one or the other.

PERSONAL & FOOTBALL
Personally, it would have given me a great new years eve vacation
Football-wise, I (and most others) think the Peach is a more prestigious bowl against a more prestigious conference (Later date vs the SEC).
"There's always opportunity in everything. I saw him, I laid the wood on him and he went to the sidelines looking for his mouthpiece. That's how that goes."
"You win the game. You find a way to win. That's part of athletics. Everyone wants you to be pretty. Everyone wants you to be perfect. Competing doesn't work that way. That's in the movies. I keep saying this isn't entertainment. It's competition, and there is a difference. In entertainment, you script it, you set it up and a guy makes the big play, the heroic play. He throws a TD or makes the big run. This is real life.
Again, the prestige part is crap.
It’s not BCS. Notre Dame is more prestigious than Auburn. Would the BBVA Compass Bowl be considered more prestigious than both because it’s played in January? It’s a bowl game that’s not a BCS bowl and neither opponent would’ve been ranked. It’s stupid to cry about it.

I Disagree
First, with the prestige, most people in the evil sports world think that the Peach is a more prestigious bowl. I remember from my youth (70s & 80s), the Peach being a big deal due to the fact of its date around NYE.. The BBVB bowl you mentioned is a bowl that is one of the new ESPN made. Bowls for programming purposes after Jan 1. Those bowls have no prestige in my eyes.
Second, although ND has a long history in this nation, they are an afterthought and they don’t come close to touching the SEC in football over the past two-plus decades. I would rather kick SEC ass today versus old bag ND ass.
Finally, I wonder if we were passed up by everyone except, say the Eagle Bowl, should we just be happy with that bc it’s a bowl?

Outside of the BCS bowls and say Cotton, Cap One, and maybe Outback does anyone really know the difference anymore between any of the bowls? At one point the Holiday Bowl meant something now its like the Pacs 5th and Big 12 7th choice. Match ups are what make the rest of the bowls and ND/FSU is one of the better match ups you can get even with both teams down the game will still have people watch it.

Kellumbear, you need to put that SEC Kool Aide aside for a awhile. The truth is, outside of SEC territory, the Champs Bowl will have greater interest and more people will watch it. ND is a bigger name in college football historically than Auburn. I agree with Tricknole and others that past the BCS bowls and one or two others, like the Cotton, most people will not distinguish any differences in the bowls. BUT, they will distinguish a difference in the quality of matchups and FSU-ND, trumps UVA-Auburn. Bottom line is the conference makes out financially and that helps us too. Frankly, I expect the BCS national championshp game to be the least watched in history. I know I won’t be watching it. Boring rematch!!

But I like defense.

Dogs bark in the night but the caravan moves on.
Honestly
It’s because the Chick-fil-a bowl is a “better” bowl. It chooses before the Champs Sports Bowl so being picked for that bowl tends to mean you’re better than the team picked for Champs Bowl so it’s an ego thing. The fact that UVA got picked over FSU will definitely annoy people.
On a personal note: I went to Champs Bowl in 2008 and Chick-Fil-A Bowl in 2010 and I enjoyed the Chick-Fil-A atmosphere much, much better. It felt like a much more important game that the Champs Sports Bowl

Sagarin bcs had FSU 28
With adjusting fir mov and SOS, FSU 17
Overall I think the ACC and FSU end up doing well from the money point this year
While making sure Boise gets screwed out of a ton of Money, and Houston losing basically costing their conference $15 mill.
We were not going to a BCS. So whatever we were overlooked even by Virginia. Pretty much any bowl we were going to was going to pay within a Million or so bucks. And the difference between us facing Auburn who I would have loved to have beat and added another SEC team to the list of us beating. We are still going to have a game that will always be a huge draw. FSu vs ND. We may not have as good a shot. But it will be prob the most watched non BCS game. And with VT sneaking in an at large, even if they dont deserve it. It ends up giving FSU more cash from the ACC having pictures of some people and getting 2 BCS teams in. And that actually bolds well for FSU. Cause it was not expected. Gives the ACC a .00058 % more respect. And a win over ND would be a good finish. And a loss means we are waiting for next year which we are doing anyway in reality.
While at the same time it makes sure Boise and their crying cause all their victories over schools for the disabled didnt sneak them into an At large bid with a loss and pay them a ton more cash for doing nothing. Same with Houston who playing a season against no one was going to get an At large bid that would have brought an additional $15 mill to their conference, if they werent embarrassed before getting to the BCS and showing why they dont deserve it which they dont
So I am happy how it worked. Boise and the we play no one schools shut out while the ACC makes some extra cash for once. Works for me
And Ok St missing the title game by .009 pts. Holy Schnikies. That would have been a really good gae and rather see that over Bama LSU, It better be better then last game.

Virginia Tech is an absurd choice for a BCS bowl.
However, back when Pitt and Syracuse got invited, the BC AD slipped up and mentioned that ESPN was giving hints on what Big East teams to take to bump the $$ up the most, and the Big East wasn’t signing on to ESPN’s offer. I think ESPN agreed to push a 2nd ACC BCS team this season if available in exchange for our work in destroying the value of the Big East TV contracts.
If all sports fandom is a form of emotional gambling, football is poker and hockey is Russian roulette.
What I saw
Don’t know if its true, doubt it is true but I so want to believe it I don’t care. Jim Delany told the Sugar Bowl that Michigan would not be playing Boise so they had a pick between KState, VaTech and Baylor. Out of those 3 teams its a no brainer who you take if you are trying to sell ticekts and get people to watch.

I wouldve assumed missing QB 1 would effect the interest in the game

"I dont hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around." -Bukowski
I can say one thing...
I am buying tickets to the Champs Sports Bowl and I guarantee that FSU’s coaches know whether EJ is having surgery now or after the bowl game. If he does end up missing the bowl game for surgery, I think it’s wrong that the fans don’t know about it prior to buying tickets to the game. I think it’s very misleading and I will be pretty upset. I would feel like I was “used” and duped into buying tickets and paying for something that I won’t get to see…Just my humble opinion…
I want to see FSU play regardless of qb. Heck, I drove up to Clemson to watch us play without EJ. I don’t think you should base your decision on one player.
That's a fan's perspective
From Jimbo’s, what’s the incentive to tell ND which QB to prepare for? The offense varies greatly depending on who’s under center.
>>---l>
when does bowl practice start?
I think at that point it’d be pretty hard to mask whether EJ has a working shoulder or not.
Not sure - do you mean when will they start practicing in Orlando?
And with closed practice it’s not that tough. They’ve been doing it all year.

How many weeks of spring practice before the spring game?
Spring game’s April 14th apparently. If practice is 2-3 weeks than that’d leave a good 2.5 months of recovery time even after the bowl game. And since the QB’s don’t take too many hits in the spring those 2.5 months may be plenty by the time practice starts.

Well, there are 3 ligaments that are usually torn if the separation is severe enough to "require" surgery.
Looks like one option is to drill through 2 bones (clavicle and coracoid process) and attach the two via a “rope”. This would have the same function as two of the ligaments that were torn and are what keeps the clavicle from noticeably sticking up. I guess there’s also another procedure where they can take a 4th ligament, one that is usually uninjured and detach one end of it. Then reattach that end to the clavicle to hold it in place like the rope (in the other surgery technique) or the 2 ligaments (in a healthy individual). Probably other techniques. As I’ve said, I’m not even sure surgery is necessary. Unless his clavicle is displaced into other tissues (nerves, muscles) in his chest/shoulder. Then you definitely need surgery.

Anyone else think LSU is going to beat Bama pretty easily?
I think LSU gets to the QB enough to take him out or at least get in his head and it’s all over after that.
I actually like Bama and Saban...
but I hope LSU wins. They won the first one, shouldn’t have to play them again.

LSU will always have the advantage due to QB play.
"I dont hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around." -Bukowski
I think LSU is the clearly the better team. I do not think however they beat Bama easily. You can’t discount the pressure and psycological factors at work with 20-21 year old kids having to beat BAMA again. I would be scared as all hell of a letdown if I was Les. If they have a first quarter against Bama like they did against Arkansas and Georgia they will be hard pressed to recover.
im not impressed with either's offense at all
dont know why this game will be any different than the last. elite defenses, average offenses, bad kicking by bama. wash, spin, repeat.

Bama left a lot of points on the field the first time around.
I don’t think they do it twice. Saban gets to steal a MNC,
IMO this is
very likely. I don’t like it but here we are. I will definitely watch the game. After watching OSU dismantle Ou it would have been nice to see OSU-LSU. BAMA (IMO) has a better chance to beat them but they got them at home and lost. I just hope we grow an O-Line and get in the discussion next year.

and they’re going to be hamstrung again by both coaches playing not to lose. Saban knows he doesn’t have a QB to challenge LSU’s defense at all and the Hat will be content to wait for the Honey Badger to make something happen, especially since it did work the first time around. I already saw the spiritual rematch of the first game a couple weeks ago in Gainesville. It’s just that Brantley’s a bigger moron and failure of a QB than either of LSU or Alabama’s.
Maybe we’ll get lucky and someone on either team will fall down and a TD will get scored. Not holding my breath, though.
If all sports fandom is a form of emotional gambling, football is poker and hockey is Russian roulette.
Maybe they should only be aloud to use 10 players on Deffence.
Then there would be some scoring, maybe.

Well seeing as Bama outplayed them the first time and got hosed on a play that was called an INT when it wasn't
No.
Shot a Gator in Jean Shorts just to watch him die.
Yes, Bama outplayed them in Bama
Doesn’t mean LSU will suddenly outplay them on a "neutral " field.

I think LSU will look a lot better with Jefferson playing the entire game.

I think Jefferson is garbage. haha

Not sure how Lee looks worse than Jefferson if you're looking at the whole season.

People who misinterpreted or dont understand the simultaneous catch rule maybe

That's assuming they thought it was a simultaneous catch.
Didn’t look like Williams maintained possession to the ground.

Bama was marginally better, yes.
Not enough to call them the better team IMO.

Remember when ND barely beat us in 1993
At ND, And thought they were going to win the NC. But we won instead. Because ND let this happen to themselves
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz2SHUmiFp4
And then FSU was national champs and have beat ND each time since their hearts were shattered bby our NC and a team from Boston (always a sweet spot in my heart for that BC team)
And remember how this makes ND fans have to remember back even further to remember wining a NC and many fans are not even old enough to remember
I used remember a lot cause thats what ND can only do

They did. 2002. We then returned the favor in 03.
With that glorious smackdown that (at the time) was their worst home loss ever.
Mike Martin should go coach Hawaii. Then he could have all the poi's he ever wanted - MattDNole

And if I remember correctly, Craphonso had a big game.

Defense Will Smother ND
I think this will be the best defense ND has faced all year. With more than 4 weeks to prepare, I’m hoping the O-line will be healthy and Jimbo Fisher will have the offense working.
I’m looking for a relatively low-scoring game.

jimbo needs a blow out
Jimbo really needs an offensive explosion to gain some of us fsu fans respect againe!! Stoops deserves a big extension but award him after tha game if our D plays the way they should!!But really there is no ecuse why we shouldn’t win by 14+….We have far better athletes great special teams and the #4 D in tha country!! Right now our worst enemy is our offense..Oline needs to get physical and jimbo needs 2 realize our stengths which isn’t much but damn it don’t be scared to take some shots!! Go Noles!!

Come on, Jay. It's pretty obvious, he's saying
the offense has really struggled, especially the last couple games, with finding any consistency. This is most likely due to a combination youth and inexperience on the OL, as well as not a great deal of progress in a few of those new guys over the course of the season. Also, the starting QB suffered a serious injury in September that will require surgery and has been very limited at times in the running game—which is his strength. He’s also pointing out the QB hasn’t progressed mentally as expected and in his “pocket passer” role has struggled and may even be losing confidence in himself. With all of these considerations Fisher has failed to recognize the true strengths of the offense…..(hint: they really don’t have any right now).
However, we do have a terrific defense, ranked #8 on the season, and the top special teams unit in the country. Considering all of this he’s modestly predicting 3 point win over a team that is pretty close to FSU’s mirror image.
What was so hard to understand? Get it together, man.
