Re: Who is your pick to win the BCS National Championship?

Can a mod fix the poll? I set the close date for Jan. 9th but for some reason it is trying to close it on the 5th? Thanks.

Re: Who is your pick to win the BCS National Championship?

As much as I will be pulling for Oregon (would normally pull for a SEC team but given my feelings on the Newton situation I cannot), I think Auburn wins a game in which the defense for both teams might as well stay on the sidelines.

Auburn wins 49-38.

Hoping for the Ducks. They're a fun team to watch.

Re: Who is your pick to win the BCS National Championship?

I voted Oregon but the more I think about it, the more I think Auburn will win.

It is possible in the college game for a stud quarterback to absolutely take over the game and impose his will ala Tim Tebow or Vince Young. I think Cam Newton is cut from the same cloth and will be the difference. If the game is close and Auburn has the ball, push all of your chips in on Auburn.

Re: Who is your pick to win the BCS National Championship?

There should be a neither choice. I think Auburn wins the game but don't think it lasts the test of time.

Oregon hasn't played against a tough defense nor a team with as much offensive firepower (Stanford was close) as Auburn. I really think this game looks similar to the OSU Oregon Rose Bowl last season with a little more points scored.

Give Auburn 1 week to prepare for the Ducks and I'd take the Ducks. Give them a month and I'll take Auburn.

Auburn.

I voted Auburn but I don't really know and think this is going to be a good game.

Re: Who is your pick to win the BCS National Championship?

Auburn has had to play some D this year.

Oregon, not so much.

I think the Iraqi Republican Guard or the French Army puts up a better fight against the Cam Newton offense than the Oregon D.

I think Auburn will win the game by a wider margin than many expect.
