The slate of 19 games this past weekend finally decided the matchup for the BCS national championship game, but there was really only one spot up in the air; Oregon was virtually a lock as of two weeks ago, whereas Auburn needed some healthy doses of good luck to make it here. The finally took out some of that frustration on an overmatched South Carolina squad in a game that was nowhere as close as I had predicted. With that the BCS pits the (6) Oregon Ducks against the (10) Auburn Tigers .... in about 4 weeks. Who says we need a playoff?
