re: hypothetical (yet possible) if Oregon plays auburn

It would be an interesting game for sure. The defenses are probably about the same but Oregon's offense is more refined. They just seem to get in that hurry-up offense and execute like a well oiled machine. Auburn's offense seems more like Florida's with Tebow; they rely on Newton to get the tough yards and if Oregon could find a way to stop Newton that would obviously be the difference in the game. Of course Auburn would have plenty of time to diversify their offense so I still see it as a shootout any way you slice it.
