Ties!

Unlike that '80 N v '85 UM match-up, I'd love to see this one.    Picking ND this time.

Let's see....
it's hard to beat a team whose top rusher averaged 8 yards a carry
you could run on that FSU team
this FSU team is the year before they got REALLY good
I'd pick '91 FSU easily over 92 ND, but....
I got the Irish here
