To be fair, Oregon is at a disadvantage because they don't have any professional athletes like Cam Newton on their team.

While I think an Oregon vs. Auburn NC will be interesting and both teams deserve to be there, neither team is particularly dominant and I not convinced either team is the best in the nation.

Wisconsin would pummel both of these schools by 3 TD's. Ohio State by 2 TDs

Disagree. I think it will be a good game. The strength of the Auburn defense is their Dline. Oregon runs an offense that will keep them on their heels with quite a bit of 2/3 step drops and quick passes. Thus, that will neutralize the Auburn line IMO. I think its a tossup game to be honest. But it will be a 45-38 type of game IMO.

Oregon- 49
Auburn- 31
...and Cam Newton will be stripped of the Heisman within a year

Penetration blows up their read option nonsense. Oregon's big plays are going to come in the passing game, they won't be running all over Auburn.
