#1 Auburn (14-0) defeated #2 Oregon (12-1) last night 22-19 to win the BCS National Championship. The Tigers kicked a field goal as time ran out to come away with the victory. Oregon had scored a touchdown and two point conversion just a couple of minutes earlier to deadlock the game at 19.
I was surprised by how well both team's defenses played throughout the game. Both schools seemed to have trouble putting points on the board, especially Oregon. Auburn seemed to move the ball a little bit more consistently, which is the opposite of what I thought would happen. However, both teams made plays on offense when they needed to. It was a thrilling game and was just about everything you could ask for from a BCS Championship Game except that the wrong team won. I still think it's a little ridiculous that Cam Newton wasn't punished at all with regard to all the allegations of a pay-for-play type agreement orchestrated by his father. However, Newton is a great player and played really well. I think the NCAA should have done something about the allegations, but we just have to live with what happened I guess.
