National Champions, Again

After surprisingly rolling over (2) Ohio State in the B1G Championship, Michigan State rightly earned their berth in the National Championship.

Their opponent, Florida State sneaked into the game after not being eligible for the ACC Championship. (They lost the berth in a tiebreak.) The favorite, Georgia Tech, was upset by Clemson, thus allowing the opportunity. Pac-12 champion, (5) Stanford, was originally predicted to win the berth.

Aside from that, the game began as a defensive struggle. Michigan State was never down, but their largest 1st half lead was only a touchdown. Florida State was shut out in the 2nd half, and the Spartan passing attack made some key connections. 10 unanswered points late sealed the deal for the championship.
