From Me: I\u2019m sad to announce that Auburn defeated Oregon 22-19 in the BCS Championship, the fifth national title in a row for the SEC, that tends to make sports a business far more than the PAC-10.\u00a0 The Ducks were no match for Auburn\u2019s offensive and defensive lines, that manhandles Oregon\u2019s throughout the game.\u00a0 Nevertheless, Oregon kept it close with ingenuity, outsmarting Auburn often.\u00a0 Were it not for a fluke play, late in the 4th, they might have pulled it out.<\/span><\/p>\n
