Happy To Be Here?Well, I imagine that the approximately 4/5ths of the Seminole team that wasn't declared ineligible for the Music City Bowl are at least happy they get the free industry swag and a trip to sunny Nashville (current temp: 55 and cloudy). One could say that the highlight of the season, other than the anointment of Jimbo Fisher as the next head coach, would be a prime-time win over Boston College, but that's the kind of achievement you have to prop up as a highlight when a perennial top-five fixture has reverted to having the kind of non-descript 7-5 years that are usually reserved for the likes of Maryland or NC State.
Come Here Often?
You're kidding, right?
Why Care?
Well, if you're the type of ACC die-hard that likes their schadenfreude sipped straight, you're probably looking to tune in just to see the Seminoles get totally wrecked by Kentucky after that whole academic scandal that gutted their roster. Either that, or you're a Ravens/Bears/Falcons fan that wants to see the quarterback your team might squander a 1st-round pick on (no, not Drew Weatherford). Andre Woodson has been supposedly dive-bombing on mock drafts, but I'm uncertain what he's done that's more egregious than Matt Ryan or Brian Brohm...other than confusing lazy sportswriters by being an African-American QB that isn't known for his running skills.
And The Winner Is...
Do you go with the SEC team that dragged ass to the end of the season or the ACC team that dragged ass all year and is missing 20+ players? The obvious look is to say that SEC > ACC and that FSU sucked anyway before the suspensions, but I'm not so sure that it's so easy. Bowls are rarely indicative or what happened before the season, and the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl is more often than not a close one. But in the end, I don't think FSU has the offensive firepower to score into the 20s, and Kentucky does. Provided there's no bonehead moments from Woodson, I think that's the kinda score we're looking at.
Kentucky 23 Florida State 10
