Don't think its his BGOY but according to his Insider segment he does like the Fla St:
Phil Steele says: "It is scary to think just how talented the Seminoles were last year: After sending a school-record 11 players to the NFL draft, they still managed a dominating 2013 season, winning all 13 of their games by 14 points or more, including 12 by 27 or more. The defense is allowing just 10.7 points per game, their best mark since 2000, and they have an All-American candidate at every level.
"On paper, the Seminoles are probably two or three touchdowns better than the Tigers, as no team on their schedule has come close to beating them. However, it will be interesting to see how Florida State handles getting punched in the mouth early, as Auburn will test the Noles with its ground game. On the other side, though, is where the big mismatch in this game resides, as Auburn's defense is allowing 424 yards per game, and will not be able to contain a Florida State team that has averaged an ACC-record 53 points per game. The Noles break the SEC's streak."
ATS pick: Florida State
