Schule's 10* PEACH BOWL *PUNISHER* ~ INCREDIBLE 11-1 L12 CFB TOP PLAYS!
(NCAAF) Houston vs. Florida State, 12/31/2015 7:00 AM, Score: 38 - 24
Point Spread: -7.00 | 103.00 Florida State (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the Florida State Seminoles.

The Houston Cougars emerged as champions of a much better than expected AAC Conference, but I wasn't all that impressed with what I saw from this season during the season. In Week 12 they hosted the Memphis Tigers, and they trailed that game by a score of 34-14 heading into the fourth quarter. They rallied to score 21 points unanswered points to come back and win by one. Here is what I had to say about the Cougars after they started the season 7-0:

"The Cougars are having their way with the minnows of their conference, but let's face it, their schedule is a bit of a joke. Last week they cruised to 59-10 win over Central Florida, a team that is now 0-7 on the season. It wasn't their first win against a team with a losing record, in fact all seven of Houston's wins have come against teams that are currently below .500. They are 4-0 against AAC teams, but those four opponents have a combined conference record of 1-13. They gave up a combined 52 points in their wins over SMU and Tulsa, who are both 0-3 in conference play. Their schedule will get a whole lot tougher real quick, facing Vanderbilt, Cincinnati and Memphis over the next three weeks. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they drop at least two of those three games."

They will meet Florida State in the Peach Bowl, and I don't like their chances of stopping Dalvin Cook and the Seminoles offense. Florida State only lost two games all year long, and one of those was a close game against #1 ranked Clemson. The other was on a blocked FG returned for a TD in a 22-16 defeat at Georgia Tech. The Seminoles boast the nation's #5 ranked defense, holding opponents to an average of 15.8 points per game. They looked particularly good in their final game of the season, beating the Gators by a score of 27-2 in Gainesville.

Take FSU.
