Saturday NCAA Comp Pick
Florida State -4 over GTech
For starters we have to realize that this FSU has not lost in 29 games. Georgia Tech lost to Duke and UNC. Records don’t matter because it all comes down to individual matchups and guys there is not too many times in a season where the pure physical mismatches on the offensive and defensive lines favor a team in which it does tonight. Florida State will dominate the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. You can forget about GTech passing the ball with one of their main receivers out. FSU will overload the box and stop this attack because they have team speed greater than that of a Duke or UNC. This line is so low because of the way FSU has struggled against teams this year, but none of those games have anything to do with this one. Do we really believe that on a neutral field that programs like GTech are going to beat a team like FSU with so much on the line? If the Noles lose they are out of the playoff hunt. Tech has a great team and a brilliant coach, but talent is talent. Over the course of a 60 minute game I see FSU being way too strong. Once this team gets a lead and Tech has to throw the ball up to get back in the game it is not going to be pretty. To me this is just like Arizona last night. Too many people are just wishing on a team instead of really looking at the core talent of the guys that actually are playing in the game. Take Florida State.
