So instead of posting the "About Me" blog today, we are pushing that to tomorrow (Wednesday) and giving you a recap of the incredible BCS national championship game from last night. So, go ahead and read our take of the game, and then stay tuned for a few different updates for tomorrow.

Last night, we ended the controversial BCS-era of college football with a bang. After a 60 minute roller coaster of top tier college football, the Florida State Seminoles defeated the Auburn Tigers by a score of 34-31, with the TD pass from "Famous" Jameis Winston to Kelvin Benjamin being the game winner.

Auburn dominated the first half by a score of 21-3, but couldn't sustain their play throughout the entire game. Slowly but surely, FSU clawed back into the game, with the momentum completely changing late in the 4th quarter when they returned kickoff for a touchdown. Auburn responded with a Tre Mason TD run, but that's when Winston worked his Heisman magic and led his team down for the game clincher. Auburn simply ran out of magic, and FSU became the last ever BCS champions (2015 will be the first year of the 4 team playoff system).

The main storyline heading into this game was how well Auburn would do. They were 10.5 point underdogs and many people thought they were going to get blown out on national TV, much like Notre Dame did vs. Alabama last year. It turned out that they were very wrong. Tre Mason & Nick Marshall show why their offense helped them get to the title game, and the Tigers defense was ruthless all night, sacking Famous Jameis 4 times and causing a fumble. Auburn came to play, and FSU didn't really show up until the 4th quarter.

But, that's exactly when they needed to show. That's when Winston finally woke up and began making plays. He came up big and threw 2 TDs in the 4th, which quieted that haters that questioned his Heisman trophy winning season.

The sky is now the limit for Winston and Co. He's only a redshirt freshman, so he has at least 1 more year of eligibility to see if he can defend his title in the new playoff format next year. With the talent that this Seminole team has, I wouldn't be surprised if did.

Congrats, Jameis Winston. And congrats, Florida State University!
