Five in a row for the SEC! Oregon had their chances but two red zone trips that put nothing on the scoreboard was too much to overcome.

It was very difficult to root against a PAC-10 team and even harder to root for an SEC team, but I did and I'm smiling

What's the story on the Ducks' helmets -- looked like carbon fibre. no comment on the dayglo lime /yellow trim. Props to both teams... a very good game.

Being a PNW man to the bone marrow, I very much wanted OU to clobber Auburn. I expected Auburn to have the edge in the "brute force" category, and OU to win the finesse and speed contest. What I saw was a VERY good, VERY fast Auburn team that not only kept up with OU speed stride-for-stride, but also decisively controlled the line of scrimmage on both offense and defense. Those guys are excellent football players who are very......very well-coached. Hats off to Auburn.

I'm a little surprised that UO did as well as they did.
They were glad just to get that far - 1st time in history, and will be back next year with all but 3-4 players/starters. |

Great game plan. They were outmanned, but in general a great game plan and play calling.

OU did a great job of limiting Cam Newton but Auburn still managed to net 500+ yards. THANK GOD the Auburn's defense prevented OU's offense from turning the game into a track meet. It was a great game to watch regardless of which team you liked (or hated) and it goes without saying that both teams were very deserving of the opportunity to play in the Championship game.
What disappoints me were the comments made this morning from ESPN commentator. Can't remember his name but he just couldn't resist to ruin the moment by saying "The FBI is now involved with the investigation to determine if any violations were committed.....". Someone needs to remind him that the subject has been been beat to death throughout the entire season so if he wants to sling mud, he needs to find something else to "report".

There's a live video stream still streaming from the stadium. Last I checked, Oregon was still trying to run the option up the middle...

Oregon is also know as the University of Nike. Free custom uniforms for every special event helps move more merchandise to the fan base....rabid fans will always buy a new and different jersey.....More profits for Phil.

worked so well on the lessor teams of the Pac-10 tho my one quibble with Coach Kelly's game plan was that he never stopped doing that - the Auburn players did look fatigued after a while, but not enuff |

Both teams looked a little shaky if you asked me. Wasn't terribly impressed with either.
However, I attribute that to the fact that they had to wait nearly 50 days to play the game.
