The college football BCS National Championship Game is tomorrow night at 6:30 p.m. MT on ESPN and espn3.com. The game pits #1 Auburn (13-0) against #2 Oregon (12-0). Auburn is led by Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton who is capable of beating teams with his arm and his legs. He will be a handful for the Ducks. Oregon features an explosive, fast-paced offense that few teams have been able to keep up with or contain this season. The Ducks are paced by running back LaMichael James.
Both teams look solid, but in my view the clear edge goes to Oregon. I think the Ducks are just too fast and efficient for the Tigers to hold them down. Auburn will give them a game but I'm picking Oregon to win by 10. Auburn will have to make a few defensive stops and take some time off the clock on offense to stay in the game, but Newton should make some plays to keep it competitive. You can follow me on Twitter during the game and I'll be back on here afterward for recap and analysis.
