24 Florida St. (-3) vs. 25 Notre Dame
On paper this is an excellent football game. Orlando isn't exactly the place that these 2 had hoped they may meet this year. Both teams had BCS aspirations, that never came to fruition. Florida State began the season ranked in the Top 5, and got off to a decent start. They lost to Oklahoma when the Sooners were #1 and the wheels fell off a bit from there. FSU's lofty expectations may have been a year too early as the team finished with an 8-4 record. The Irish couldn't have gotten off to a worse start. They began the year with back to back losses and never looked the part of a possible BCS team as they finished 8-4 as well. With the reputations that both of these schools have, mixed with the talent they will both return, each school will probably have high hopes again next year. This bowl game could have something to do with who's ranked higher.
Prediction - Florida St. 24 Notre Dame 23
