My heart and my brain disagree. FSU does play down to competition and have a big issue with turnovers, so it's anybody's game. However, my brain says:
FSU 31, NIU 17.

RE: Official Score Prediction Thread
Head: FSU wins 35-14.
FSU OL wears us down and dominates time of possession.
Heart: Huskies win 28-27!
TLL runs one back in front of his hometown fans and catches a deep ball from JL for a 60 TD.
Must win TO battle by at least +2.
D holds FSU to a couple FG's instead of TDs.
Penalties to a minimum....especially "procedure" penalties on the "big stage".
We're really in the Orange Bowl? Pinch me.What a year!What a Team!
Go Huskies!!!!

NIU holds it own until the 4th, but unfortunately FSU's size will wear down NIU in the 4th quarter. I hope I'm wrong but FSU's depth will just beat us up in the trenches.
FSU 31, NIU 21, leaving ESPN to gloat but give Clemson a pass on last year's beating.

Sounds like the Chicago Bears Fans skit on SNL! :) I soooo want NIU to win. OMG, I couldn't sleep last night.
But my head says something different than what my heart wants. It's like having a date with a hot model when you're an above average looking guy who can clean up and get action with average Janes. You have the special opportunity to have a date with this hot model, there's a chance you might get a kiss, but nobody -- and for good reason -- thinks you're going to get laid. You just don't want to see yourself on a BAD DATE.
I love NIU's attitude, with Lynch saying that he'll have FSU's defense on their KNEES in the 4th quarter. Love it. But it ensures that FSU will in fact show up this game. It's the Orange Bowl. A month of team-focused preparation. This is NOT going to be an unmotivated FSU team in their own backyard.
Given that, IF NIU pulls off a shocker, or it goes down to the wire -- nobody can say NIU didn't deserve to play. Because there's about a 95% chance that the "real" FSU team WILL show up. I hope NIU isn't over-confident and is frazzled if they're stonewalled at the line of scrimmage on a lot of plays.
Prediction:
Halftime:
Florida State: 24
Northern Illinois: 6
Final Score:
Florida State: 41
Northern Illinois: 27

This game will probably resemble the 08 Sugar between UGA & UH, only NIU players wont be doing the haku dance before the game.

The 2 points comes from JL running the wrong way I assume...
