[QUOTE=johnnetto;37123]I'm more confident than ever. The SEC has looked more vulnerable than most thought coming in. Clearly performances by Alabama and Miss St on New Years Day may make SEC backers feel good, but Mich St. was grossly overrated this year and Michigan never had a defense. LSU last night gets a star as Les Miles once again did a great job of prepping his team. Nonetheless, Stanford and Washington have shown the Pac 10 has a lot more bite than most thought and Oregon will be able to move the ball against Auburn's d which allowed teams like Georgia, LSU, and Kentucky to move the ball freely through the air and while I love Ridley from LSU, the ground attack Auburn is going to see on Monday is like nothing in the SEC. The pressure on Auburn's defense will create a few more plays that in the end allow Oregon to win outright...There is a real shot we see 1 and 1' around town if not pick'em by kick off...[/QUOTE]
Auburn's defense can look average/soft sometimes and sometimes looks like they are very good. If you watch the tape of the Iron Bowl, you will see their def soft in the first half but in the second half they were very stout shutting down/out the Crimson Tide completely...Also, Cam Newton is bigger and faster than teams think until they see him on the field. He is kinda like Vince Young in college but bigger and with a more accurate arm.
I still think Oregon has a great team and love the +3 but I think Auburn has a better team than I initially gave them credit for when I made my bet.
Go Ducks!
