My two favorite tweets regarding the result:

Congratulations to Auburn University* and Cam Newton* for winning the 2011 National Championship*.

Congrats to Auburn for winning the 2011 title. And congrats in advance to Oregon for winning it retroactively in 2013.

I highly doubt it. After the Reggie Bush fiasco the NCAA wouldn't have let him play if there were evidence of shenanigans by him or the school.

Plus Auburn wouldn't have risked it since they've been on probation before during an undefeated season back when Terry Bowden was coaching.

I made a post a few months back on here saying: “SEC football: If you ain’t cheatin’, you ain’t trying.”

Somebody wrote back: “SEC football: If you ain’t winning, you ain’t trying.”

Every football program in the SEC has been found to have extreme major NCAA violations (except Vanderbilt) in the last 20 years.

It’s amazing how many conservatives on this board think it is ok to cheat in sports, as long as you are winning, or will have the “everybody else does, so why don’t we?” view. No, everybody doesn’t cheat like SEC football programs.

College football is the most corrupt sport in the United States, and the SEC is, by far, the most corrupt conference in that sport. But I guess it’s ok, as long as they win.
