#35: 2011 Champs Sports Bowl — Florida State @ Notre Dame in NCAA Football 12

Before the 2011-2012 college football season began, both the Florida State Seminoles and Notre Dame Fighting Irish were expecting to have successful seasons; now that Bowl Season is upon us, each team’s destination is a bit of a consolation prize: the 2011 Champs Sports Bowl.  Though the two teams had hoped for a more distinguished postseason game, the Seminoles get the benefit of what will essentially be a home game in Orlando, Florida; not that the average college football player wants to stay close to campus when it comes to Bowl Games, of course!

Even though Notre Dame is the designated home team for this Bowl Game match-up, I opted to wear their road whites in Florida; a reflection of the Seminoles healthy fan presence for this game.  With a slight ratings deficit, the game was set to be very competitive.  Could I begin a new winning streak with a second consecutive victory?
