Watch VIZIO BCS National Championship live stream 2014 NCAA Finale

The top-ranked Florida State Seminoles and second-ranked Auburn Tigers will collide in Pasadena on Jan. 6, in the 2014 BCS National Championship Game at famed Rose Bowl Stadium.

Jimbo Fisher has done a tremendous job in Tallahassee. In just his fourth season at the helm, he has restored Florida State to national prominence and on the cusp of its third-ever national title. The Seminoles have run roughshod over the competition this season, entering this contest as the nation's only undefeated team at 13-0. Marquee wins along the way in 2013 include routs of Clemson (51-14), Miami-Florida (41-14), Florida (37-7) and finally Duke (45-7) in the ACC Championship Game. No. 1 Florida State vs. No. 2 Auburn live stream.

The team has captured back-to-back ACC titles under Fisher, who is an impressive 44-10 thus far with the Seminoles. As a result, the school has recently rewarded Fisher with a contract extension through the 2018 campaign.

Florida State has been a mainstay in postseason play, with 43 all-time bowl game appearances. The team's current bowl streak has now reached a national- best 32, with an all-time bowl record of 26-14-2, including wins in each of its last five bowl games. This is the team's eighth BCS Bowl appearance, although it is just 2-5 in its previous matchups.

In terms of BCS National Championship Games, this marks FSU's fourth. The Seminoles played in the first three championship games from 1998-2000, beating Virginia Tech in 1999, sandwiched around losses to Tennessee in 1998 and Oklahoma in 2000.

Fisher addressed FSU's unique path back to the national title game.

"I was in the SEC a long time, I coached there 15 years, and I remember the SEC couldn't crack it was always fighting to get somebody in saying we were good. Then all of a sudden, you know, Oklahoma and that group had their run, and USC had their run and now the SEC has their run. They have had a tremendous amount of success, have a great league and are playing great football. But it is kind of ironic that things always go in circles and come in cycles like that that everything comes back around to where it started and it's very unique that the SEC, which is dominating now, Florida State which was in the first three National Championships '98, '99 and 2000 and all those National Championship games, it's kind of funny how it has come full circle like that and I do appreciate the history of college football that way, and we all complained about the BCS and everything that goes on, but it's funny how many times they get it right and how the history just keeps repeating itself."



What has taken Fisher four years to accomplish, Gus Malzahn has done in just one. After an ugly 3-9 finish in 2012 that included an 0-8 record in- conference, Malzahn has directed Auburn to a 12-1 overall record in his first season at the helm, with Auburn dethroning two-time national champion Alabama (34-28) along the way to capture the SEC West Division and then finishing off with a 59-42 shootout win over Missouri for the SEC Championship. The team's lone loss of the season came on the road at powerhouse LSU (35-21) on Sept. 21, but Auburn ran the table after that, with wins in each of its last 10 games to earn a spot in the national title game.
