Oklahoma Sooners vs FSU Seminoles: Which team will have its BCS Championship dreams shattered?

The marque game of week three occurs when the #1 Oklahoma Sooners travel to Tallahassee, FL to face the #5 Florida State Seminoles. Last year, when these teams met, Oklahoma whipped them 47-17 in Norman, OK. However, I would not expect to see the same results this year.

The Oklahoma Sooners have only played one game thus far, and it was against theTulsa Golden Hurricanes. Offensively, OU dominated the Hurricanes, but their defense gave up 400 yards, including 271 in the air. They are led by their red-shirt, junior quarterback, Landry Jones, and their fifth year senior wide out, Ryan Broyles. In two years and one game, the two have connected 234 times for 2,900 yards, 30 TD's, and an average of 12.4 yards per play. Simply stated, the duo has been lethal and unstoppable for opposing defenses. However, the Sooners aren't just a passing team. They also have a rushing attack, led by Dominique Whaley, that gained 246 yards against the Hurricanes on 46 carries. Whaley is currently the 11th ranked running back in the nation following his 18 carries for 131 yards and 4 touchdowns in week one.
Unlike OU, the Seminoles had a game in weeks one and two, and exactly like OU they were against inferior opponents. The Seminoles defeated the ULM Warhocks 34-0 in week one and defeated the Charleston Southern Buccaneers 64-10 in week two. The FSU offense is also led by a red-shirt junior at quarterback. EJ Manuel, however, has sat behind Christian Ponder the previous two years. So far in 2011, he has completed 46 passes out of 69 attempts (66.7 CMP%) for 581 yards passing, 6 TD's, 2 interceptions, and a QB rating of 160.3. The Seminoles have struggled
