Not just that, many SEC fans like me refused to watch a single play of this game when the result will most likely be vacated in the near future. All of these folks watched last year's game (and all other SECCG's) but refused to watch a cheating team prosper.

This.

I was in a bar in north Texas. The channel was changed from Oregon/Oregon st. to SEC Champ. game. The crowd overwhelmingly asked the tv's be changed back to Oregon/Oregon St. Main reason given: Cam Newton/Auburn cheated, and the game will eventually be vacated.

Personally, I think it's rediculous to pretend many other programs don't do the same, but the national perception of Auburn is they have to put down cash to get kids to sign.
