Auburn is one of this years surprising teams. Usually, the Tigers have tons of talent and lose a hand full of games in the tough SEC due to inconsistency and a mediocre quarterback. This year is completely different. Due largely to Auburn's quarterback, Cameron Newton, the Tigers are thinking national championship. Oh yeah, and Heisman Trophy too for Newton. Auburn's quarterback is now the clear frontrunner for the best player in college football, passing an inconsistent Denard Robinson of Michigan, and Kellen Moore who plays for the best team with the most awful schedule. Newton led the Tigers over a very well respected Arkansas Razorback team by scoring 65 points, running for 180 yards, and passing for over 100 as well. It's crazy to think that last year he was in Junior College. Auburn has two very difficult teams remaining: LSU and Alabama. Both are top 10 BCS teams and both will give Auburn a run for their money. However, LSU is lacking offense big time and has a very weak quarterback, and Alabama is not playing with a ton of confidence right now. Don't be surprised if Auburn ends up in the BCS championship game this year. You could see them playing a team like Oregon or Boise State, a great matchup either way.
