Oregon does not fall into that category....HOWEVER... Auburn is not nearly as good as you people want to make them out to be... this is the same team that could have lost to Clemson, Kentucky and gave up over 400 yards to the only spread offense it actually faced this year in Arkansas St...
Oregon is going to score plenty of points against Auburn so if you are taking the Tigers you better hope that they will outscore the Ducks... It is completely plausible but not nearly the lock some of you think... Spread offenses with big enough talent in the trenches to go along with skilled players have always given SEC teams trouble... Utah brought a much better line on both side of the ball when they played Bame in the Sugar Bowl.. we all know how that turned out (and yes it was a letdown on Bamas part but still) whereas Hawaii did not have the offensive line to handle UGA and thus got blown out... Oregon runs at a tempo that Auburn will not be able to simulate and they they can hang with Auburn in the trenches... BE PREPARED with your wagers...
