I think FSU was as Mr. Billybud has said, left with not many choices to fill in the cancelled game. Idaho gets some money, and exposure, probably at the expense of its players. What FSU has done this year by their dominance, is play a lot of 2nd 3rd and 4th tier players. When the big game comes, they will have a bench load of players with experience and there is no substitute for experienced players that have rested legs. If you can rotate in and out with players that know what they are doing and are fresh, it disrupts the opposition, they never know what to expect and keeps control of the game. Teams like Alabama are so deep, no matter who plays they dominate. FSU is getting in the same position. Save OSU, all the rest play well with their first string and if that doesn't work, they get the loss.
This season to me, epitomizes how conference play has been devalued so much, it is irrelevant. Its all about one game. Pretty pathetic except for two teams.
