If Auburn wins this game they will play for the BCS title, probably against Oregon. Auburn has already beaten South Carolina once this season but that win was not easy and the Tigers actually trailed in the fourth quarter before rallying.
Cam Newton
Auburn is unbeaten and in the national title picture because of Newton. He is going to win the Heisman Trophy award this season easily. He has been unstoppable all year long. Auburn got good news this week when the NCAA ruled that Newton is eligible. That puts the scandal revolving Cam’s dad in the rear view mirror so everyone can focus on this game.
Living on the Edge
Auburn may be unbeaten but it is not like they have dominated opponents. They trailed South Carolina by 13 points earlier this season. They were dead and buried last week by Alabama but climbed out of a 24-0 hole. Auburn has had to come from behind eight times this season. Auburn’s defense is not that great and they have major problems in the secondary. That could be a major problem against South Carolina and talented receiver Alshon Jeffery.
