What’s the buzz from the world of sports? Here are some items that will have people talking:

The deciding factor in the BCS championship game? It just might come down to this: Oregon has a power ballad. Yes, Oregon has a power ballad, thanks to the Jimmy Fallon show.

And it’s sung by Sebastian Bach. Yes, the Sebastian Bach. (For our younger readers, Sebastian Bach is a heavy metal singer who had a couple hits a couple decades ago and has spent the past 20 years being famous for being famous. He’s like the Zsa Zsa Gabor of his time. For our readers younger than 90, Zsa Zsa Gabor is famous for being famous.)

Anyway, the Ducks power ballad is filled with campy hilariousness:

Our boys are prepared;

With coach Kelly in charge;

And secret “spread offense,”

On cue cards

Well, maybe you just have to see it. Talking Points is betting the Auburn Tigers have seen it, and we’re betting they are terrified. Could be the difference in the game.
