Capital One Bowl Morning Thread

A few things.  Around 1:25 in the morning, the fire alarm rang at the Peabody, the MSU team hotel.  The building wasn't evacuated but the alarm and the "all clear" announcements (all 4 of them!) certainly woke everyone up.  It'd be nice to blame the disruption on a devious Alabama fan, but there are significant brush fires in the Orlando area, and apparently some of the ambient smoke made its way into the fire alarm system.  C'est la vie.

Second, in case you've missed our previews: Pete's 3-part review of Alabama's season is here, here, and here, and my preview of the game is here.
