First off, this game had an incredible pace during the first 1 1/2 quarters. Oregon reminded me of a Loyola Marymont basketball team, and it had an affect on the Auburn front-line. However, their QB was just not good enough to sustain drives. Plus, trick offenses have a significant difficulty converting TD's inside the 10 yardline, and that was evident last night.

Auburn showed why SEC football is the best in the nation. There strength was depth and size, and eventually it took over the game. This game was close throughout score-wise, but during the 3rd and fourth quarter, Auburn just completely dominated the Ducks.

Was this a "Classic", **** no! But for a championship game, it was nice to see a game come down to the wire. Too often, championships have turned into blowouts and this one kept you tuned in until the very end.

As for the comments about whether Auburn being stripped down the line, I would contend that they will. I think there is going to be too much information lurking out there that will eventually implicate not just the Newton's, but the University itself. For those who earlier who said the NCAA "Can't" strip Auburn after the declared Cam eligible, need only to look back to Derick Rose and Memphis. The exact same situation happened with the NCAA declaring Rose eligible and told Memphis that "based on the current information", Rose met all eligibility requirements. The NCAA made the comment to Auburn. Thus, the NCAA can and will strip Auburn if more disclosure is uncovered.
