The two top seeds bang it out to see who will get to the championship.

The Wildcats have already beaten the #2 North Carolina, #1 Ohio State, #5 West Virginia and #13 Princeton to get this chance to earn the berth to the championship game!
Connecticut Huskies - The top seed left in the tourney has to put the hammer down and rise up and win this one to get to the big game.

Oregon Ducks 2010-2011 Tostitos BCS National Championship Game
2010 Tostitos BCS National Championship Contender
Oregon Ducks
Let the feathers fly!! The 12 -0 Oregon Ducks are flying into Glendale, Arizona into the Fiesta Bowl to take on the Auburn Tigers. The high energy ducks will try and take that waddle into gear and try and run all over the Tigers. What players will show up and put their hearts on the turf? Let's take a look at a few:
Coaching
Head Coach Chip Kelly: The second year head coach put a team together of players that love to score. The 2010 season Ducks scored 42 or more 10 times only missing that mark twice. A talented team that LOVES to run and run often they do. The coach/offensive coordinator earned some much deserved awards along the way to this years bowl with many more to come.
Offense
Running Back LaMichael James: When talking speed and elusiveness this is the man. Only a sophmore this back is for real. Stats of a Pac-10 sophmore record 1682 yrds rushing and 21 td's and 169 yards receiving with a lone touchdown showed the nation that this Duck can run. A smaller back at 5'9" and 185 pounds he can just explode threw the hole and he puts on the afterburners and boom he is in the endzone celebrating! He did slow down to grab some awards! Next year will see even more!
Quarterback Darron Thomas: Another sophmore earning his wings, and this one can run too. But, passing is for quarterbacks and this efficient one did that too. Stats of 2518 passing yrds and 28 td's (9th in the nation) along with the 492 yards rushing and 5 td's puts him in a threat to do either. He will be looking to take what ever advantage he can on the Tigers. Stiff competition in the awards for quarterbacks and being a sophmore will leave him hunger for next here, but he did get some mention!
Receiver Jeff Maehl: Darron's prime target for the touchdown pass. Speedy senior (4.77 40-yrd dash) Jeff found the endzone 12 times with a total of 943 yrds receiving. He set a school record of 9 straight games with a touchdown.
Receiver/Kick Returner Josh Huff: Gotta name another Texas born player! The freshman the only one to play in 2010 for the ducks is a threat to take it to the house. With 532 kick return yards without a touchdown he is primed for one! He is a triple threat with 303 receiving yrds 3 td's and 214 rushing 2 td's this freshman is scary!
Defense
Linebacker Casey Mathews: 73 tackles 33 solo, 3 sacks and 3 interceptions.
Linebacker Spencer Paysinger: 68 tackles 42 solo and 3 sacks.
Cornerback Talmadge Jackson III: 67 tackles 43 solo and 2 interceptions.
Free Safety John Boyett 67 tackles 42 solo, and 5 interceptions.
These men will try and stop the Auburn offense and Cam Newton. They will need a few of those sacks to disrupt the Heisman Trophy winner to become winners themselves.

Auburn
2010 BCS Championship Contender
Well, Auburn Tiger fans here we go this should be a high scoring game. The over/under is 73 points. That means both offenses love to light up the scoreboard. With Auburn's 37th bowl attendance will this be their 21st win? Auburn has the all the tools to get the job done. Here are some of the key players that have a real chance to make a difference in the game.
- Head Coach Gene Chizik: Led his team to a 12-0 record with a point differential of 555-318. Using a spread running offense he turned them loose to keep the fans excited as he pulled in the wins. The wins brought accolads and awards here is a couple so far this year.
- Running Back Cam Newton: Run and gun quarterback that has the legs and arm that can put any play towards the endzone. His playmaking ability has Fran Tarkenton, Randall Cunningham and Vince Young all over it. The system and offense is a perfect fit for his talented dynamic ability. We have seen highlight reels all year of his college greatness. His peers have noticed and awards aplenty for the junior quarterback.
- Left Tackle Lee Zimba: Making the offensive holes or keeping the defense at bay is this 6'8" 319 tackle. All year long this beast has gotten it done. He was also honored for the great job.
- Defensive Tackle Nick Fairley: Leads the defense with 10.5 sacks and 55 tackles with 31 of them solo. He will be all over Darron Thomas and the offense of the Oregon Ducks. Offenses fear him and the voters love him.
- Middle Linebacker Josh Bynes: If you are coming up the middle or trying to throw over it you will need to get past this guy. He led the team in tackles 71 and interceptions 3 and ready to help the Tigers take home the BCS trophy.
Look for these men to try and win there place in history!
