It's now official, No. 1 Florida State and No. 2 Auburn will play for the BCS National Championship for the second time in four years in Pasadena, Calif., at the Rose Bowl, Monday, Jan. 6.
Auburn did not need a prayer in the Georgia Dome Saturday night, but they did need a prayer to be answered in Indianapolis if they wanted a chance to play for the BCS Championship.
With previously No. 2 ranked Ohio State falling to Michigan State last night in the Big 10 Championship, Auburn has moved up to the No. 2 spot in the final regular season polls, and will get a chance to knock of the No. 1 Seminoles and Heisman Trophy frontrunner Jameis Winston.
The BCS formula is 1/3 Coaches' Poll, 1/3 Harris Poll and 1/3 computer rankings.
Auburn came in at No. 2 in both the USA Today Coaches' and AP polls as well as the BCS. They also received four first place votes in the AP poll.
Here is the list of BCS bowls and the teams playing in them:
BCS National Championship: Florida State vs. Auburn
Rose Bowl: Stanford vs. Michigan State
Sugar Bowl: Alabama vs. Oklahoma
Orange Bowl: Clemson vs. Ohio State
Fiesta Bowl: Baylor vs. Central Florida
