Coaches' timeouts are worse. Basketball teams should get one, full stop.

Accurate.
The NCAA's 90% claim debunked.
" If the school asks about it, they are advised to send a cease and desist letter, which preserves the eligibility of the student-athletes. SI ignores the letter and we all go on about our business."

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.
Ditka. 456-2
If he doesn't show up...Ducks 32-27.
Have got a few tings t' say about dat.
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.
Verbatim.
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.
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 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.
Wait, do you honestly believe he didn't know? Or just that they won't be able to prove it? I really hope that it is the latter.
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.
Oregon 45 - Auburn 42
.
Yes
.
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.
Todays NC will be a low scoring affair. Doesn't everbody know the spread doesn't work in big games, DUH!
by 10
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.
Cecil Newton is the beneficiary, Cam knows nothing.
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.
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.
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.
They were my pick to win it all at the start of the season. Quack, Quack, Quack...
The spread is dead and will never work in the B1G.
Fire Malzahn/Kelly!
Oregon on the moneyline and under 74.5 points... yes please...
Auburn - 31
Oregon - 24
In a game that is lower scoring than expected. I see the teams being a little rusty to start as they haven't played in a long time.
Ducks 31-30
Oregano. I just love that spice.
Oregano is an herb, not a spice. However, your points still stands. I like it too.
then why do we keep it in a spice jar?!?! I am forever shattered...
+1 to you!
34-31 Quackers win.
Re: Fairley... I want his talent, not his class. He is a piece of garbage:
Not to mention he incited the fight that got two of his teammates suspended for the iron bowl.
I hate him almost as much as I hate Finnegan. Unbelievably dirty.
that chizik called the accusations that fairley was dirty "unfounded and ridiculous". i immediately said to my tv, i know there are several gifs out there that would suggest otherwise mr chizik. here they are
I don't know why Auburn is the favorite and the #1 team
Keep in mind they nearly lost to Clemson, South Carolina, and Kentucky
Watching the SEC dismantle so many teams (Arkansas gave the game to OSU) makes me lean heavily toward Auburn 44-27.
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.
I just want Oregon to roll Auburn. 2007:2011 in reverse and I'm one happy, intoxicated student tonight.
Fuck the SEC.
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.
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 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.
Go Ducks
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.
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.
and win by 17.
Paid mercenaries vs a family of ducks......this is not right.
42-31 Auburn unfortunately.
On a 2 pt. conversion. Oregon 64, Auburn 63.
Lots of points scored tonIght.
Auburn 45
Oregon 39
Oregon 45, Auburn 14.
The reign of SEC terror is over, emphatically.
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.
Auburn by atleast 2 touchdowns. JoeBlue18 it.
Whoever has the ball last wins, but I think it's the Ducks! F the SEC
Oregon 52, Auburn, 49
Copious amounts of points on the board
