re: Auburn vs Oregon comments

First off, many of you should take a deep breath about this game. There is really no way of knowing which way this game will go. I realize most of you are just a bunch of SEC homers, but still...
Since AU's games against teams from other conferences do not significantly overlap with Oregon or PAC-10 teams, we can only speculate, about as well as who would win in a fight between Spider-man and Green Lantern.
Fact is, Oregon's offense has been unstoppable this year. You cannot judge AU's ability to stop them on ONE GAME where Cal did a decent job. Cal sucked this year. Anyone who watched Boise St. lose to Nevada should know any team can have a bad day/not play well/give up for a half (remember AU/ Alabama? Who was the better team there?). That's pretty much like saying Oregon will crush AU because they have no defense since they gave up 332 yards passing to Arkansas back-up.
Will this game be like USC-Texas 2005, where there were 2 unstoppable offenses, one unstoppable player, and it just comes down to who has the ball last; or more like USC-Oklahoma the previous year where one team is more physical and the media loves them (calls them the best CF team of all time) vs a team that just waxes its opponents by 20-30 ppts/game?

I think Oregon is more balanced and has a better offense than any team in the SEC, and AU cannot count on coming back from 24 ppts down (or even 14). Similarly AU is more physical than any PAC-10 team with Cam Netwon, who's in his own planet when it comes to talent.

I think this game is a toss-up.

/PS Don't knock ASU. They are young, but a very talented team. By all accounts they should have beaten Wisconsin at Wisconsin this year, and only lost it with missing a gimmie FG and then lost a chance to tie with time running out by missing an extra point
