This might be the first matchup between two teams I saw in person...

I'd pay a lot of money to see this game.

I'm picking OSU because while they're very similar teams in some ways, I feel like OSU would have more range in their play-calling.  You couldn't run on FSU, but you could run on OSU (see UM game).  But I feel like FSU would still want to pass a certain amount, even if the run game was rolling.  OSU would run-run-run if it was working or be able to pass more if it wasn't. 
99% of teams run more than they pass, and both of these did, but FSU felt obligated to pass, which may be a problem vs such a tough opponent.

That may be a weird reason, and I don't think I've ever used it before, but I think it's true.
