Forgive the SEC if it doesn’t play along. While everyone else focuses on the BCS and a crazy points system and what-if scenarios, those in the SEC talk about winning the championship that matters.

“You win this league,” says Auburn linebacker Josh Bynes, “and you’ve worked a full day.”

Then you receive your prize: the prey forced to play you in the BCS National Championship Game. This time it’s No.2 Oregon that gets a shot at the big, bad SEC.

Don’t expect it to be any different than the previous four national title games – all won convincingly by SEC teams. Three reasons why Auburn will beat Oregon, and make it five straight national championships for the SEC:

Cam Newton. Duh. He’s playing at an unreal level right now, carrying his team and making everyone around him that much better. In the last six quarters of the two biggest games of the season for Auburn, Newton has accounted for 10 touchdowns. If SEC defenses can’t stop Newton, how in the world will Oregon? Not only have the Ducks not played anyone remotely close to Newton’s dual-threat ability, they haven’t played a spread option team all season.

The defensive front seven. Oregon’s Blur Ball offense shocks opponents with speed and tempo. The flaw: blocking physical, athletic defensive lines at the point of attack. Oregon had trouble with Cal’s front seven, and Auburn’s talent (and speed) is significantly better. Oregon hasn’t seen a game-changing defensive tackle like Nick Fairly.

The tempo. More specifically, Auburn’s ability to disrupt Oregon’s no-huddle offense. Think 2008, when Oklahoma’s high-temp no-huddle finally played an athletic, fast defense in the BCS National Championship. The Sooners scored 14 points against Florida that day. Auburn will get stops on defense, control the ball by running with Newton and tailbacks Michael Dyer and Onterio McCalebb, and force its will on the Ducks.

BCS National Championship Game Auburn 38, Oregon 20. After a season for the ages, one thing is clear at Auburn: Cecil Newton was underselling his son, Cam.

Well it's only down to two now so that has to have something to do with it.

Got up yesterday monring in the hotel and made the mistake of turning on ESPN The Sports Reporters.  It was mealy mouf John Saunders and 3 guys who looked like they had been forced to wipe their asses with sandpaper for a week.  All they could talk about was how wrong the whole Cam/Auburn situation was...how Pat Haden had a legitimate beef....how the NCAA is basically looking the other way so they could get the match up they wanted. 

Sux to spend a month screaming from the mountain tops your fucked up opinion and then realize how wrong you are.  Sour sour sour grapes.
