Along with millions of other spectators, many of J&O’s customers will watch the Tostitos BCS Championship game in Glendale, Arizona on January 10 pitting the two top teams in college football against each other. The game will pair two prolific offenses in the Oregon Ducks and Auburn Tigers. Oregon finished their regular season at 12-0 while the the Auburn Tigers finished at 13-0. Despite both teams possessing capable defenses, the championship game promises to be high-scoring and offense dominated.

Auburn brings into the game Heisman winning quarterback Cam Newton while Oregon will feature its remarkable “blur” offense. Auburn is ranked sixth nationally in scoring offense at 42.7 points per game while Oregon is ranked first at 49.3 points per game.

(OU’s season… almost)

Sooner Nation let out a collective gasp a little ways into the team’s first game as quarterback and Heisman winner Sam Bradford was injured in the closing seconds of the first half. The third ranked Sooners has high hopes for this season having appeared in last year’s national championship game. But after Bradford’s injury Oklahoma couldn’t get rolling and lost an exciting game to the 20th ranked Brigham Young Cougars. Just like that Oklahoma’s season seemed to be over almost as soon as it began. Although it is estimated that Bradford might only miss 2-4 weeks of the season, that might be all that’s needed for the other contenders in the perennially tough Big 12 to separate themselves from the Sooners.

While OU stumbled, other programs took steps to cement their status as contenders. #1 Florida, #4 USC, #2 Texas, #9 Penn State, and #8 Ole Miss all rolled over their opponents. Closer calls were had by #6 Ohio State, which barely escaped Navy, and #22 Iowa, which eked out a one point victory over Northern Iowa. Some of the bigger matchups were compelling: top-ten ranked Oklahoma State defeated #13 Georgia, #14 Boise State beat #16 Oregon, and #5 Alabama won against #7 Virginia Tech.
