Personnel Notes
Oregon has a much more experienced QB in Herbert which should help them early in the game and come crunch time.

I think the inexperience of true Freshman Bo Nix is going to affect Auburn in the first and fourth quarter and the intelligence of Justin Herbert will be the reason why Oregon can start fast and finish strong.

I would give the matchup edge to Auburn because they are an SEC team, but I believe Oregon has a more explosive team.
