    Calm down. Calm down.

    I'm a 30 year Duck fan and have followed the program closely for a lot of years - spending a bit of time on the sidelines, even. I actually agree with most of this article.

    I've watched Auburn closely and I think they, and the Ducks are the team to beat, so I'm not sweating this article that states Auburn is #1.

    I would love to see these two teams play. Take the over!

    I would like them to match up, because I'd love to beat the SEC champion for the National Championship.

    That is a FANTASTIC comparison. Without Newton, Auburn is nothing, just like Oregon was without Dixon.

    While I don't wish injury on Newton, Auburn is that fragile. Oh and the fact that LSU just flat out SUCKS. Auburn will lose to Bama.

    Auburn has come close to losing a few games. And a couple of those to weak teams. They simply are not as good as Oregon.

    I disagree. Auburn is more than the Cam Newton show. Dyer and McCalebb are able backs - good compliments depending on defensive scheme. Adams is a great WR. No, they haven't been winning with the margin of victory as Oregon, but considering they have put away three top 15 teams to Oregon's one, it's reasonable to appreciate their 8-0 record.

    They have scored 38 TD's and allowed 24 TD's.
    Oregon 44 and 13.

    Go Ducks!

    According to my research, both teams have 0 wins against a top 10 team. While both have 1 win against a team ranked 11-25.

    Did I mention they only play in 4 road games all year.

    I think the 2nd best team in college football is still Alabama.
