If only Oregon had tried running it up the middle just one more time. That worked sooooooooooo many times before, right?

Auburn, props to ya. Oregon... well, maybe next year Nike can build you some stealth uniforms so nobody can see you running it up the middle... again and again and AGAIN.

An AMAZING game!

War Eagle!

SEC rules college football!!! I can’t be a poser and yell War Eagle as I am a Dawg Fan. Great and weird at the same time..the slippery field, the ump screen, Dyer! Wow, last year playing HS football and has a game like that in the National Championship! I thought the Ducks played great as well!

Sad football is over :(

I'll happily console the losers. They must be upset.

I propose the “Pat Sullivan Bowl” Auburn vs TCU for all the marbles.

[GizmosAndGadgets]

War Eagle!

You guys should have won two titles this year, after USC lost their 2004 title, it should have gone to Auburn.

Who will get the trophy — Oregon or TCU — when the NCAA lowers the boom?

First of all, congrats to Auburn. They were the better team by a FG on the last play of the game. But that's all.

Secondly, I guarantee you that Chip Kelly would have been gracious and complimentary of Auburn in victory had Oregon been the team making that kick on the last play of the game. Auburn's coach came off quite classless, not even acknowledging that there was another team on the field tonight, much less one that very nearly won the National Championship.

Finally, as I've often seen in other championship football games, the field was a joke. I don't know why the groundskeepers over-water a natural grass field for Super Bowls and a game like this, but you see it all the time. It is very dangerous for the players, as we saw numerous players for both teams slip and twist knees and ankles. It also ruins plays designed for quick cuts. Whoever was responsible for that debacle of a field should have been fired 2 minutes into the game. I knew when I saw the Oregon return man slip on the opening kick off it was going to be a problem for the entire game, which it was. The fact that ESPN never pointed out that there was a problem with the field was a gaping hole in their coverage. I don't know if a dry, fast field would have made a difference in who won the game or not, but it probably would have made for a more exciting, interesting game. I hope that game will be a lesson for groundskeepers in charge of natural grass fields for future National Championship Games and Super Bowls, but then again I hope that every time I see it happen.

I love the SEC. But I don’t understand those Alabama teams. Can’t they figure out what they’re going to call themselves? Is Auburn a war eagle or a tiger? Alabama is a red wave with a gray elephant for the mascot. Make up your minds!

Even though I have to say “God love a duck”, I also have to say SEC RULES!

[americanophile]

Best championship game since USC/Texas? Was pulling for the Ducks, but Auburn was impressive.

[38special]

OK but can they beat TCU? We’ll never know.

[DesScorp]

National Champs! War Damn Eagle!!!

[cookcounty]

National Championship game NOT on broadcast TV.

A great game, which half the nation was deprived of seeing. The NCAA must be run by utter morons. But then, the NCAA is run by college presidents,

[Jemian]

Congratulations, Ducks! Y’all played a great game. You never quit. You never gave in. It could just as easily have been you carrying home the Crystal Trophy. Maybe we’ll meet again next year.
