Talking Points: Ohio State or Auburn in BCS title game?

Let the debate begin.

Does a one-loss Auburn team, fresh off its thrilling win over top-ranked Alabama, deserve a berth in the BCS title game over undefeated Ohio State?

Despite Ohio State’s weak Big Ten schedule, the Buckeyes are No. 2 in the BCS standings released Sunday, comfortably ahead of the No. 3 Tigers.

That means Ohio State and Florida State will likely play for the national title if both win their conference title games on Saturday.

Should that happen, it would guarantee the mighty SEC will not boast a national champion for the first time since the 2005 season, when Texas beat USC.

Alabama kicker Cade Foster was inundated with support from teammates and thousands of fans on social media after missing two field goal attempts and having a third blocked in the Crimson Tide’s loss to Auburn.

The initial negative backlash after Saturday’s 34-28 defeat mostly turned supportive by Sunday.

A fan page titled “Bama fans supporting Cade Foster” was started on Facebook after the game and was approaching 40,000 “likes” by Sunday afternoon.

Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron posted on Twitter that “we win & lose as a team. If u blame this on 1 guy U aren’t a true fan!”
