Tenn has historically floundered on the big stage - almost every time. The one exception in ‘98, FSU was badly crippled at QB down to their 3rd string by game time. Anyone who watched the awfully played game was not impressed with either team. But good fortune was on their side that year affecting multiple games.
Having said that, IMO, OSU is the class of the field. Only Ryan Day, apparently a fine man, can get in their way. I felt they were mistreated by the CFPC. At least they got the home game. If they win it they will deserve it having traversed the toughest road.
