Can't wait for this. The last 2 Heisman winners and the potential #1 and #2 picks in the draft square off at 10, and the 2 best coaches in the game who happen to have won multiple national championships square off at 1:30.

Going to go for Florida State to pull the upset, and Alabama to meet them in the final.

It'll be Bama vs Oregon for me. FSU have been scraping by this year, think their luck runs out tonight.

Itssoeasy

Why this playoff lark wasn't started years before is beyond me. I've been looking forward to it all day.

Nick O'Leary pulled up in pregame warmup - could be a huge loss if he can't play.

Any top drawer streams for this gents or can it be viewed using a US proxy?

Itssoeasy

Btw hello to the Oregon and florida state cheerleaders. The Americans in fairness can put on a show.

Yeah I'm also wondering about a site viewable with a proxy, I've a stream but that might not last.

Nick o Leary is good to go according to jimbo.

Itssoeasy

Who's the rose bowl presented by again ?

JaMarcusHustle

Wow, big penalty there for the Noles.

polaris68

Mariota putting on a show on this drive.

Itssoeasy

Why did the officials let the next play happen if the review buzzed down ?

Itssoeasy

Right lets do this again.

Was the 2 PAT a fake field goal or did they just go for it? Just following the play-by-play.

Just went for it.

Itssoeasy

Oregon are on a roll on both sides of the ball.

They lined up for the 2 points - something they often do.

JaMarcusHustle

Another huge penalty against Oregon to wipe out a big, big play.

JaMarcusHustle

Winston keeps it on the option on 4th down, TD Noles.

This is a cracking game.

Edit: Looks like he didn't make it!

polaris68

Great goal line stand by the ducks.

About a crab leg short of the touchdown.

Oregon looks impressive.

polaris68

Gotta make that pick.

polaris68

FSU in the red zone again, they have to score a TD here.

JaMarcusHustle

That's a bizarre no-call.

Itssoeasy

Surely that's PI on Oregon ?

Itssoeasy

If Oregon get a TD on this drive given the huge no call down the other end FSU will be majorly pissed.

polaris68

Noles 4th trip into the red zone........

polaris68

Touchdown, sets them up nicely for the 2nd half.

JaMarcusHustle

A Mariota interception :eek:

He's lucky it's only his first one of the night too.

I thought that was a very strange 2n last play. No need to get the ball that close and even if the WR caught it would have been close if he made it out of bounds with-in 3 seconds. Seemed very silly not to just look for another 5 yards.

Off the post! So unlucky. Enjoyable game this. Interesting note on Aguayo taken from Rotoworld:

Three NFL scouts speaking with Bleacher Report confirmed that FSU redshirt sophomore K Roberto Aguayo would be a top-100 pick if he declares early.

"I'd give him a Round 3 grade," one said. "Kickers like that don't come around often." At this point, it seems likely that Aguayo wouldn't have to wait until Day 3 to hear his name called if he decided to opt into the draft. ESPN's Mel Kiper wrote earlier this month that Aguayo has "a legit shot to be taken before the end of Day 2 of the draft" if he enters early. Sun, Dec 21, 2014 05:10:00 PM

I'd have no problem taking him in the 3rd to be honest. I'd even go end of the 2nd if there wasn't any other player there to fill a big need.

Bit late with this lads but I saw this linked on Reddit so thought I'd throw it in here for those looking.

Seems to be a bit better than the usual FirstRow, VIPBox etc. ones.

Itssoeasy

Let's hope those Beyoncé songs being played by the FSU band doesn't cause a power cut.

JaMarcusHustle

Huge play, that's a momentum killer for Florida State.

polaris68

Costly, costly turnover. Ducks back up by eleven.

Itssoeasy

FSU have to get a score on this possession.

That won't help.

JaMarcusHustle

That's a great throw by Winston. I've been so impressed with him tonight. So composed in the pocket.

JaMarcusHustle

5 point game again. Noles just won't go away, as usual.

Itssoeasy

FSU aren't the defending champs for nothing.

Itssoeasy

TD Oregon. The tempo is ridiculous.

Itssoeasy

Another turnover.

polaris68

Another turnover by the Noles!

JaMarcusHustle

That could be the game. Hard to see a trademark FSU comeback here, but if anyone can, it's Winston.

Itssoeasy

Game.set. Match.

JaMarcusHustle

Oh Jameis.

Jameis, Jamies, Jamies.

Ball game.

Chucky the tree

lol....

Langdon Alger

That was awful from Winston
