The Ducks are good enough to have made it to the BCS Championship! The match up with Auburn should be interesting. I think the Ducks held back the last few games on the option side of the game (Darron Thomas running) to avoid a Dennis Dixon type injury possibility, but they should let it all out for Auburn.

They should be able to score plenty of points, but Cam Newton and the Auburn offense is freaky good as well, so the Duck's Defense will have to step up. It's too early to predict a score, but if everybody is healthy (should be) it should be a great game.

As for the Beavs, they are where the Ducks were for much of the 70's and 80's, good coach, good players, but not enough good players deep enough so injuries make a difference from early in the season. They need more depth and more quality impact players, but it is so tough to compete with warm weather schools and with the facilities just down the road in Eugene.
