Auburn Beats Oregon... Wins National Championship... Will Have To Give It Back in 24 Months or Less

Auburn has won the BCS title. 

It was certainly not the high scoring affair that many, including W&G thought it was going to be, but it was still a fun game to watch.  Oregon pulls even with a late drive, only to watch Auburn march the ball down to the Oregon 1 and kick the game winning field goal as time expired. 

The Hero:  Cam Newton.  It wasn't a clean, mistake free performance from the Heisman winner but it was gritty and good enough.  Got great work from the running game and the defense played great.  But if you had to point to a single performance, Newton gets the nod.

The Goat:  Anyone who parlayed Oregon and the Over.  Oregon was a 2.5 point dog that lost by 3, and the over was 72.5 (total points 41).  Everyone and their mother had money riding on the over in this game only to watch both teams have their best defensive performances of the year. 

The Story Behind the Story:  Auburn is already secretly making plans for when they have to forfeit this national championship and Cam Newton's Heisman Trophy.  Representatives from both Fed Ex and UPS, speaking on conditions of anonymity, have been commissioned to find a cheap, but effective means of transportation to get that BCS trophy to Eugene and the Heisman back to the New York Athletic Club.
