What We Learned Yesterday

The seemingly inevitable did occur as Auburn and Oregon locked up undefeated seasons and expected spots in the BCS title game with generally easy wins. I firmly believed that Auburn was getting into the championship game with a close loss, but now we do not have to worry about it. TCU does get a nice consolation with the Rose Bowl and it will be interesting to see how they plan to stop the steamrolling Wisconsin offense. Oklahoma needed a full game's effort to subdue rival Nebraska, who wrapped up their Big 12 play. Meanwhile kudos to both Virginia Tech and Connecticut who both rebounded from poor starts to the season to wrap up conference titles. This is new territory for the Huskies, who are expected to draw Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. I'll comment later when the full bowl roster is determined.
