Bcs championship game - The Bowl Championship Series national championship game between Auburn and Oregon was historic even before Monday night's kickoff at University of Phoenix Stadium.

"We're playing for Oregon. It is Oregon versus Auburn.

Auburn Coach Gene Chizik's burden might have been heavier. The football-mad SEC had won six of the 12 BCS title games, including the last four.

Florida's victory over Ohio State in the 2007 game started a streak of titles for SEC teams continued by Louisiana State in 2008, Florida in 2009 and Alabama a year ago.

Since 1975, when the Pac-10 first allowed schools to compete in postseason bowl games other than the Rose Bowl, the Pac-10's bowl record against SEC opponents is 5-5-2.

The BCS National Championship features not one, but two uniform battles. Old school (Auburn) versus Modern (Oregon); and Under Armour (Auburn) versus Nike (Oregon, obviously).
Auburn will keep it traditional as can be: Blue jerseys with block numbers, a white helmet and white pants. That problem? The Ducks play their most important game in school history tonight, and they're doing it wearing gray helmets, white jerseys and white pants. What are Oregon's school colors again? Green and gold are a great college color scheme, too.
