Florida State v. Auburn: TV channel, time, weather for BCS National Title Game

Auburn will try to continue the SEC's dominating run of seven straight national titles and complete perhaps the greatest turnaround in college football history. A win would also be one of the biggest upsets in BCS history and mean five straight titles for the state of Alabama.

Florida State is looking for its third national title ever, and its third in 21 seasons -- and also set itself up as a favorite to repeat next year, since Fisher and Winston are just two of the big names returning. Considering how dominant FSU has been all season, the Noles would also enter the debate on the greatest team of the BCS era, and probably even more.
