Cam Newton without a doubt will be tough to stop, but the firepower on the opposite side of the ball is equally as good if not better. I have to go Ducks 38- Tigers 35. I guess
I like Oregon's defense a bit more than Auburn even though the tigers have Nick Fairly who is a monster (can we get a guy like that?! This is MICHIGAN!!). Just wondering who people are taking tonight.

Oregon's defense gets no respect
Watch Auburn's DL and LBs in the second and third quarters. They will be coughing up lungs and collapsing with cramps and other "fake" injuries.
Oregon is going to destroy Auburn 45-24.

I hope Oregon tears them
I hope Oregon tears them apart, especially after the whole Cam Newton/Auburn ordeal. The NCAA is a complete joke and they won’t need to return the National Championship trophy because hopefully Oregon beats them.

Oregon
45-35
I'm hoping the NCAA doesnt have to revoke a national title in 5 years when they take back Cam's Heisman
But everybody (the NCAA and bowl people, etc) get paid anyway...

1. The only thing that could
1. The only thing that could make Cam ineligible is that he knew the money was getting thrown around. That's not going to happen.
2. The NCAA and Heisman are separate entities.

That they can't prove it. The only way they will be able to prove it is if he comes out down the road and says it. I really hope that he isn't that stupid.

Ive been wrong about pretty
Ive been wrong about pretty much every game this bowl season so Im saying 17-14 Oregon. My first inclination was Auburn 45-27 but I suck so Im saying the Ducks prevail in a defensive battle. God, I hope Im wrong about the low scoring.

Low Scoring
Todays NC will be a low scoring affair. Doesn't everbody know the spread doesn't work in big games, DUH!

Depends how much money is
Depends how much money is thrown to Cam Newton. I hear that so far Oregon is winning the bid for Cam to throw the game, but Auburn is catching up and may take the winning bid to get Cam to play his best.
January 10th, 2011 at 1:10 PM
#16
no no no
Cecil Newton is the beneficiary, Cam knows nothing.
January 10th, 2011 at 6:20 PM
#17
My prediction is Cam Newton
My prediction is Cam Newton scores the game winning touchdown with no time left on the clock to give Auburn a 34-33 victory. Cam and Cecil celebrate in the end zone hand in hand and make it rain. The NCAA claims that the celebration as well as the garbage bag full of cash was done spontaneously, so there will be no further actions taken.
January 10th, 2011 at 12:54 PM

Oregon wins, 45-31. I think
Oregon wins, 45-31. I think Cam Newton gets held in check for the most part. Close game until the 3rd quarter when the Ducks pull away.
January 10th, 2011 at 2:16 PM
#19
Hopefully no (real) injuries
Newton unfortunately gets hurt in the first drive in the BCS Championship game, blowing all fan and analyst expectations for a competitive game of unparallelled awesomeness and causing all viewers to switch over to Iron Chef America: Battle Asparagus. This has never happened before in recent title game memory.
But really, I hope it's as great a game as many of us are expecting. Two great teams. Auburn 35-33.

Auburn Big
Watching the SEC dismantle so many teams (Arkansas gave the game to OSU) makes me lean heavily toward Auburn 44-27.
January 10th, 2011 at 1:18 PM
#33
Yeah, but OSU gave Arkansas
Yeah, but OSU gave Arkansas the chance to be in the game. OSU was by far the more talented team.
By the way, guess what the SEC's record in bowl games is this year: 4-4. Exactly one game better than the Big 10 who did so HORRIBLY.
Auburn might win, they might win easily, but it's not going to be because the SEC is so great.
January 10th, 2011 at 1:42 PM

There's a game tonight??
Auburn 45 Oregon 42
Not long after the game new reports will come out supporting the allegations that Newton did in fact receive money from an Auburn booster, and so we'll not only have another tarnished Heisman, but also a tarnished NC.
January 10th, 2011 at 12:59 PM

Ducks win easily
Auburn reminds me of OSU with a QB a notch up from Pryor.
The ducks will have them back on their heels all game with crazy offensive and defensive schemes..

Wait I'm confused, if Auburn
Wait I'm confused, if Auburn reminds you of Oregon shouldn't you be predicting Auburn to win? I mean OSU did beat Oregon pretty handily last year in the Rose Bowl.

Auburn
I don't think Oregon's blitzing/attacking D will be nearly as successful against a QB who can move and buy time and/or make plays with his legs. Also Malzahn > Aliotti. I also think Fairley has the chance to really disrupt Oregon's offense like Heyward did in the Rose Bowl last year.
31-21 Tigers. Then I throw up about Cam Newton and another SEC championship.
January 10th, 2011 at 1:23 PM
#40
Fairley is good, I just don't
Fairley is good, I just don't think there's much surrounding him. Oregon will be able to scheme Fairley out of if better than they could handle OSU's defense last year.
I think both teams are evenly matched. The game will turn on special teams and turnovers, factors that are hard to predict.

The SEC West is playing a
The SEC West is playing a different game than everyone else at this point. Yes, Arkansas lost a nailbiter to one of the top few teams in the country outside the SECW, but the top five teams in that division have to be one of the best collections of talent in one group of teams of all time.
Consider this: Auburn, Alabama, Arkansas, LSU, and Miss St are a combined 43-2 against everyone else. The only losses are South Carolina v Alabama and OSU v Arkansas.
Auburn by at least two scores. I'll say 38-14.

But the SEC picking it up in the bigger bowls worries me. But that might just mean the Big Ten sucks. And everyone outside of here seems to be picking Auburn, so we'll see. Should be a good game.

Auburn 45 Oregon 36
I really, really want Oregon to win this one, but between what happened when Oregon played OSU last year and the fact that Auburn has gotten better of the course of the season through their gauntlet schedule leads me to believe they'll win the game.

This game
Reminds me a lot of USC-Texas a few years back. USC had a stud running back in Reggie Bush and a better overall team, but Texas had a dynamic qb in Vince Young who eventually made too many plays.
I think Oregon is the better overall team, but Cam Newton is the x-factor.
34-31 Auburn

It's certainly a better
It's certainly a better defense than Auburn's.
Auburn ranks....
10th in rush defense, 75th in pass efficiency defense, 55th in total defense, 54th in scoring defense, and 106th (!!!!) in pass defense
Oregon ranks....
16th in rush defense, 6th in pass efficiency defense, 25th in total defense, 12th in scoring defense, and 51st in passing defense
Not to mention, Oregon ranks higher than Auburn in every offensive stat as well.
edit: FWIW, Michigan only ranked 6 spots lower than Auburn in pass defense, at 112th in the nation.
