A look at how many drinks fans of each team are likely to consume during the big game.

The Auburn-Oregon Party
Drink Up This National Championship Analysis

Will Oregon fans be feeling "just Ducky" after the game?

• Commentary by Kevin Wilkerson, an AP-award winning former sports writer who now pens prose for PubClub.com

College football season means students, alumni and fans will gather at stadiums, tailgate parties or bars to watch their team win. Or lose.

Throughout the season, this serves as a weekly look at the games through they rosy eyes of a drink glass. For the BCS national championship between Oregon and Auburn, PubClub.com has created an exclusive look at how many drinks fans of each side are likely to consume during the game.

The PubClub.com scale rates games on the "cocktail count," with the number of martini glasses denoting how many drinks alumni should have while watching their team succeed or struggle.

It's on a 1-5 scale, with 1 being an intense game where sobriety is needed to 5, which means the team is either so bad it's important to have a really good buzz, or the team is so good that a big celebration is in order. Each cocktail glass represents two drinks because, well, we like 2-for-1 drink specials.

Six (or more) cocktail glasses and that means your team is really bad. Or in the case of LSU well, that's just the way Cajuns party. If your team has this multiple drink symbols, make sure you are seated at the bar and have a good rapport with the bartender or an on-the-ball waitress serving your table.

– THIS BIG GAME –

Many eyes will be on the hot Oregon cheerleaders.

• Oregon vs. Auburn, Jan 10, Glendale, AZ.

The matchup is as unexpected as snow in Birmingham, but both have happened this year.

Oregon is facing Auburn for the BCS National Championship. For Duck fans, it's a celebration of its high-powered "Quack Attack" and a bit of redemption when the school was likely headed to the title game in 2007 until star quarterback Dennis Dixon went down with a season-ending injury.

For Auburn, its a chance to maybe actually earn that ring on the field after watching USC (which had whipped the Tigers the previous year on the Plains, by the way) blow out Oklahoma for the title in 2004.

So let's just say both fans are thirsty.

Both teams score as if it were a basketball game. The problem with the two prolific fast-paced offenses is that there's not much opportunity to go to the fridge, bar or even bathroom during plays. Hardly, even, to chat with anyone during play.

Here's more of the hot Oregon cheerleaders.

With this in mind, PubClub.com recommends having a cooler by the couch for those watching at home and big pitchers of Bud or Bud Light for those at the bar (there's bound to be specials on the King of Beers in the bars).

In the end, it will be the Auburn fans – accustomed to the fine Southern tradition of beers and bourbon for games – that will outdrink the Ducks.
