Auburn Falls Short, Boise State Looks Strong: How the Top 4 BCS Teams Match Up

The 2010 season is winding down and there are only four undefeated teams left going into the home stretch. The media is obviously hoping for a matchup between No. 1 Oregon and No. 2 Auburn, but are they really the two best teams?

All four of these undefeated teams are in the top eight nationally in total offense. It is on the defensive side of the ball where the distinction lies. Oregon, TCU and Boise State are all in the top 20 in total defense. Boise State and TCU are in the top three.

Auburn is ranked No. 51 in total defense, and I think that this is destined to be its downfall. With games coming up against Alabama and South Carolina, the Tigers' luck will likely run out.

My power ranking as of today would be:

No. 1 Boise State No. 2 Oregon No. 3 TCU No. 4 Auburn

I went to another SEC school but I am for Auburn. We even have tickets to the play off game. The man I am dating played for AU many years ago. His mom died Friday so we are not real sure we will get to go. Many people have already been asking him if he will sell them the tickets if we do not go. We are driving down to B’ham and riding the charter bus over to Atlanta. That will beat driving.
