prepares like a pro. and will probably be one. >> joe: stevenson, who had the touchdown earlier tonight with the carry. >> todd: this >> todd: this florida state team, not going to be able to play in the acc championship game, probably still going to get a very good bowl assignment, maybe even a new year's six bowl. to the college football playoff. so, then you go with the highest ranked acc team, to fill the orange bowl. that could likely be florida state. >> joe: th >> todd: going to be without dalvin cook next year, but a very talented team coming back. >> joe: next sunday, we're going to have the college football playoff selection show. it's going to be a four-hour

this year, it's the chick-fil-a peach bowl and the playstation fiesta bowl. we're going to sit back, find out which game we're calling here. but it's going to be a wild ride of controversy between now and then. because things have gotten wacky in the big ten, where the perceived second-best team in the country will not be playing in the big ten title game, instead, it's going to be wisconsin and penn state. and then, you've got things in and start framing the arguments, as deondre francois -- you think it means just a little something in this rivalry? francois able to celebrate the eight-yard touchdown run. >> todd: guess who the lead blocker was? dalvin cook. it's a little quarterback counter. they pull a guard. he leads up.

you know what? get in my back pocket, young quarterback, follow me into the end zone. kind of kind of like that, francois fumbled on the carry, they get a chance to run it again and he scores a touchdown. >> joe: logan tyler bounces it off the upright to keep that p.a.t. streak alive for florida always a fun night with these two. from high above doak campbell stadium, where aerial coverage is provided by goodyear. watching over the hard work and determination of blimp-worthy athletes for over 60 years. goodyear, official sponsor of the college football playoff. and that c and that college football

meeting. the most between two schools in the s.e.c. florida, 7-4 in s.e.c. championships. bama's 6-4. of course, last year, alabama won it 29-15. and it will be a defensive showdown, no doubt about it. at this point of the college football season. i'm glad you've taken it with us. joe tessitore, todd blackledge, holly rowe with you here in the final minute from tallahassee. todd, we talked about whether or not there was a college football playoff implication on this game or not. 41 players, between these teams, came from just 15 high schools
