Auburn vs. Oregon

This article is mainly about the new national championship contenders in college football. Oregon and auburn will be competing in January for the BCS title game. This is an unusual championship game because the two teams have never been in the nation championship. Will it be Darron Thomas, LaMichael James and Oregon or Cam Newton and Auburn who win the BCS National Championship Game? It's hard to pick against James or Newton, who will likely be the top two vote-getters in the Heisman Trophy voting. And it's hard to see either one of these teams get outscored for the first time all season. But someone has to win, and Auburn has knocked off five top-20 teams and four top-12 teams. The Tigers have also come from behind in eight of their victories. They define resiliency. Auburn will probably fall behind once again. And I don’t think that Auburn can come back this time because of the great second half team that Oregon is. Also it will be hard to catch up to Oregon fast offense. Another key for Cam Newton is to watch out for linebacker, Ryan Matthews. He is probably one of the better backers in the nation, and a true threat to any quarterback. In Oregon’s last game, Ryan Matthews crushed the quarterback the first play of the game! It is crucial for him to have a big game. With all this said, I think Oregon will win, but it will definitely be close with Auburns powerful offense.
