Georgia and Alabama, before beating Missouri in the SEC title game.<\/p>\n<h3><a title=\"CFB Picks\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/handicappers\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>CLICK TO GRAB OUR Expert CFB Picks for 2013 NCAA FOOTBALL Betting!<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Winston became the youngest Heisman winner in NCAA Football history after an outstanding freshman campaign in which he passed for 3,820 yards and 38 touchdowns, for a Seminoles offense that leads the nation with 90 touchdowns, while ranking second in scoring at 53 points per game.<\/p>\n<p>Besides Winston however, Florida State (13-0) has a glut of skilled players, including a trio of running backs who have compiled more than 500 rushing yards and three receivers that have nearly 1,000 receiving yards.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s not just the offense that&#8217;s responsible for propelling the top-ranked Seminoles to national proninence, the defense deserves plenty of credit as well.<\/p>\n<p>Led by cornerback Lamarcus Joyner and outside linebacker Telvin Smith, FSU&#8217;s defense has intercepted 25 passes, and ranks first nationally in passing defense and scoring defense, while ranking third in total defense.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Auburn (12-1) has been a little questionable on the defensive side of the football, allowing 24 points per game and ranking 88th in total defense and 104th in passing defense.<br \/>\n[soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<br \/>\nHowever, there are a trio of standouts that could make the difference in the outcome of their championship matchup with the Seminoles \u2014 cornerback Chris Davis, safety Robenson Therezie and defensive end Dee Ford.<\/p>\n<p>Davis is threat every time he is on field, and can hit opponents from out of nowhere, like when he returned a game-ending missed field against Alabama for the winning score.<\/p>\n<p>He also has a team-high 69 tackles, while Therezie leads the team with four interceptions.<\/p>\n<p>And while the defense has its standouts, the Tigers have made their way the big dance by way of the nation\u2019s top rushing attack led by Tre Mason, who finished a superb regular season with 1,621 yards and an SEC-record 22 rushing scores<\/p>\n<p>Mason is just one tip of a three-pronged attack however, which includes dual threat quarterback Nick Marshall (12 passing scores, 1,023 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns) and receiver Sammie Coates, all of who helped Auburn rack up a total of 69 total touchdowns while tying them for 11th in the nation in scoring at 40.2 points per game.<\/p>\n<h3>Matt&#8217;s Free Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>I expect this one to be one of the best national championship games played in the last five years.<\/p>\n<p>Lots of scoring and hard hitting, with the edge going to a stellar Florida State defense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Florida State 45, Auburn 38<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FSU vs Auburn NCAAF Handicapping Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston
