There was something downright liberating about watching Auburn and Oregon play Saturday.
Did you feel it?
For the first and only time this season, style points didn't mean a thing. The final score was what mattered.
Weird, huh?
Not to go off on a rant here (we've all done plenty of that), but if the NCAA ever gets around to instituting a playoff of some sort, it wouldn't even have to invest in a new slogan. "Where Every Game Counts," would be even more meaningful than it is now -- as long as the tournament was limited to conference champions.
At any rate, the "over-under" for the Auburn-Oregon game should be in the high-70s. The record for the most points in a BCS championship game is 79, so this sure looks like it has the potential to be the highest-scoring BCS title game yet.
Oregon managed only 37 points against Oregon State, which dropped the Ducks' scoring average all the way down to 49.3 points a game
