BCS National Championship Game
(2) Oregon Ducks (12-0) vs. (1) Auburn Tigers (13-0)
University of Phoenix Stadium - Glendale, Arizona
Oregon Ducks face the Auburn Tigers in the BCS National Championship Game at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona . This will be the first meeting between these programs and both Auburn and Oregon are in the BCS title game for the first time. The Oddsmakers currently have Auburn as a 1-point favorite, while the total is set at 72.
Home Record: Oregon 6-0; Auburn 8-0
Away Record: Oregon 6-0; Auburn 4-0
Neutral Record: Oregon 0-0; Auburn 1-0
All-Time Series: First meeting
Bowl Records: Oregon (9-14) - Oregon has lost five of their last seven bowl games
Auburn (20-13-2) - Auburn has won the past three bowl games
No. 1 Auburn (13-0 straight up, 9-3 against the spread)
No. 2 Oregon (12-0 straight up, 6-5 against the spread)
No. 1 Auburn's offense ranks seventh in the nation averaging 42.7 points and 497.7 yards per game, 53 in total defense, allowing an average 24.5 points per game this season.
No. 2 Oregon's offense ranks first in the nation averaging 49.3 points and 537.5 yards per game, 26 in total defense, allowing an average 18.4 points per game this season.

Note: The SEC has won the past four BCS national championships, with Florida Gators winning in 2006 and 2008, LSU Tigers winning in 2007 and Alabama Crimson Tide winning in 2009. The SEC has won six titles in 13 seasons.
The Ducks were impressive this season, but they did play many mediocre teams this year and faced just three top rank teams, Stanford, USC and Arizona, while the Tigers beat six top 25 teams this year and went 13-0. I believe the Ducks will be shaken by the strength of this powerful Southeastern Conference team. Look for the Auburn’s offensive and defensive lines to stifle the undersized Duck’s lines.
Take the Tigers to overpower the Ducks in hopefully a great BCS national championship clash. I don’t believe the Ducks’ defense will slow down Cam Newton and troops.
Auburn Tigers -1
