To me, it depends on which team manages to maintain their offense sync/timing the best after the month-plus layoff between games. In the 2010 game, which was supposed to be an offense show, neither Auburn or Oregon looked to be hitting on all cylinders, and we wound up with a relatively low scoring game; certainly well under that predicted by most of the talking heads.
Other variable will likely figure in as well, which team is more focused on the game versus partying, which team - and/or coaching staff is better prepared, and which team wants it more, being prime examples.
I hope my Tigers pull this one out, but with kids playing in a game like this, who knows.
War Damn Eagle, Baby!
