Auburn or Oregon?
 

Who is your pick to win the BCS National Championship game tonight?

sound off!

WAR DAMN EAGLE! GO AUBURN!

I think it's Oregon - most of the major stat/forecast sites agree (with notable exception of my favorite, FEI, who has Auburn by 8), and some expect a big number, with Oregon favored by 7+ on some predictions.

The "traditional" thought is that speed doesn't need time to get back into game shape like teams based primarily on line play - and I don't think Auburn's offense is really as ball-control-oriented as some want to think. Stanford's decisive win shows the Pac-10's ranking wasn't just inbred, and Auburn's defense is suspect even by SEC standards. Oregon, btw, shredded both Arizona's and Stanford's higher-rated defenses.

I'm pretty sure Auburn will have to score 45 to keep up, which of course they did against a very good SC defense, but failed to do against any other respectable defense this season (unless you want to argue about Arkansas).

That's without getting into the massive coaching advantage Oregon should enjoy.

Oh, that's easy. Auburn. But, I want Oregon to win.

Oregon. Go Ducks.

Because I am tired of the SEC chest thumping that goes on. Yeah, they might have good reasons for it, but I'm done with it.

Hey, we take our football seriously down here.

This is my one Auburn-exception...at 7:30 CT I'll be a temporary Auburn fan.

Go Ducks!

Go Ducks!

Tigers eat ducks. Go Auburn!

The guys at FO put out their predictions today - both of their college experts took Auburn big. Part of this is based on strength of schedule, which somewhat overrates the SEC this year (especially if bowl games are included), but yeah - should be a fascinating game, nobody agrees except that it shouldn't be close. We just don't know which direction! I'm not sure I've ever seen that.

A brother of mine (from our Auburn Chapter) posted a facebook status recently complaining about Alabama fans not supporting Auburn - a nice sentiment, but I'm sure he wouldn't be rooting for Bama if roles were reversed!

When I don't have a personal stake I refer my support to schools with Delta Chi chapters, so WAR EAGLE!

As far as I'm concerned exceptions should be made if the SEC can win another championship. And I'm a die hard Bama fan.

Where is the "I don't give a flyin' fig cuz the Big 10 isn't represented" option? lol
