BCS Title Game: Oregon vs. Auburn

By Brett McMurphy AOL Senior NCAA Writer


For the past six weeks, Auburn and Oregon have been on a collision course.

Unbeaten, and mostly unchallenged, the two heavyweights will finally get a chance to determine which is the better team.

That will happen on Jan. 10 in the BCS title game in Glendale, Ariz., between the No. 1 ranked Tigers and No. 2 Oregon. While Auburn and Oregon topped the BCS rankings to secure a berth in the BCS title game, TCU finished third, Stanford fourth and Wisconsin fifth.

The rest of the BCS' final top 10 rankings: No. 6 Ohio State, No. 7 Oklahoma, No. 8 Arkansas, No. 9 Michigan State and No. 10 LSU.

The BCS title game matchup will be the first meeting between Auburn and Oregon. The Tigers (13-0) won the SEC title over South Carolina in the SEC Championship Game, while the Ducks (12-0) won the Pac-10 title outright by winning at Oregon State.

Auburn and Oregon were two of the nation's three unbeaten teams. The other was TCU.

Unchallenged??? Auburn was very challenged, they played some very very good teams and beat them all. This guy is a quack.

I think he was referring to the lack of close games. I think we played them closer than anyone all season. If he says going undefeated in the SEC is not being challenged, then he is a quack.

Go Ducks!
