It’s official:  The Auburn Tigers are your new BCS Champions! The Tigers kicked a game-winning field goal in the final seconds to beat the Oregon Ducks 22-19.  In a game that many expected to be a high-scoring affair, it was the defenses that really stole the show.  Both offenses struggled through much of the game because of high-level play from each team’s defense.  However, it was the Auburn running game that eventually wore down the Oregon defense to help cement the victory. In particular, there was one play that put the Tigers in position to win the game.  The Ducks had tied the game at 19-19 with around 2 minutes to play, but the Tigers were not ready to give up the game to overtime.  On the play in question, Auburn freshman running back Michael Dyer took the ball and scooted around to the right side of the field before being brought down by an Oregon defender–or so it seemed.  The whistle never blew, so Dyer got up and kept running before eventually being brought down again deep in Oregon territory.  While Dyer had indeed been brought down, his knee never hit the turf; instead, he simply rolled on top of his would-be tackler before getting back up to make the championship-winning run.  That run lead to the game-winning field goal. With that victory, there is much celebration by Auburn fans everywhere.  But that doesn’t mean they alone get any benefit!  Because the Tigers won, we’re launching our final CFB Game of the Week promotion of the season, and as previously discussed, it’s a big one! Starting now and running through the end of the day (11:59pm CST) Thursday, January 13, you’ll be able to grab Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Mac) as well as our Call of Duty Bundle (Mac) (includes CoD4: Modern Warfare, CoD Deluxe, and CoD 2) at a championship-caliber 40% off!  Plus, you’ll get FREE domestic shipping on the boxed bundle!  Just add any of the titles to your cart and use the coupon code #TigersWin (including the hashtag!).  Grab these discounts now–you won’t see any more CFB GotW discounts until next season!

Despite the fact that the top 3 teams were all off this week, the college football weekend still saw some great matchups and hard-fought games.  The Texas A&M Aggies were able to defeat the higer-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers in a strong defensive battle.  Ohio State was able to survive its trip to Iowa.  And the Arkansas Razorbacks were able to finish off Mississippi State. Of course, the important matchup was between the Virginia Tech Hokies and the Miami Hurricanes.  Despite a close game through the first 3 quarters, the Hokies were able to pull away in the final quarter, winning 31-17.  Virginia Tech’s star QB Tyrod Taylor sealed the game with an 18-yard touchdown run in the middle of the fourth quarter, while the Hurricanes were forced to play with back up QB Stephen Morris.  Morris was intercepted three times in the game.  The win gave the Hokies the top spot in the Coastal Division of the ACC, and they’ll play for the conference championship in a couple of weeks. The win is also giving GameAgent fans a special something–discounts on all of our Sims titles!  Between now and the end of the day (11:59pm CST) Wednesday, November 24, you can grab any title labeled The Sims (this does not include The Sims 2) for 25% off with coupon code #VTech.  In addition, each title you add to your cart will cut shipping costs by $5, meaning that 2 or more will get you FREE shipping!  Don’t miss out! *The Sims catalog includes:

• The Sims Complete (Mac)
• The Sims: Castaway Stories (Mac)
• The Sims: Life Stories (Mac)
• The Sims: Pet Stories (Mac)

Things remained steady in the top 10 this week, as there were no upsets to shake the balance of power.  There were some close calls, however, as #1 Oregon barely skated by California, #2 Auburn struggled early with Georgia, and #3 TCU almost dropped the ball against San Diego State.  The question, of course, is how did our featured CFB Game of the Week turn out? In a battle that initially looked like it would be close, the South Carolina Gamecocks emerged victorious over the Florida Gators, 36-14.  The Gators jumped out to an early 7-0 lead after returning the opening kickoff for a touchdown, but the Gamecocks soon came back with RB Marcus Lattimore running in for a touchdown late in the first quarter to go up 9-7; it was a lead that South Carolina would not relinquish.  Lattimore would end up running for a career-high 212 yards as the Gamecocks handled the Gators at their home turf of Gainesville for the first time in 13 tries.  South Carolina will play in the SEC Champsionship game as winners of the East Division.  Catch a full recap here. Since the Gamecocks won, we’re discounting Civilization IV: Warlords (Mac) through Wednesday, November 17.  You’ll be able to buy the Civ IV expansion, shipping included, for only $12!  Just add the game to your cart and use the coupon code #Gamecocks at checkout!

Maybe you heard, but there’s a new Call of Duty game hitting the market today, and they’re calling it Call of Duty: Black Ops.  We didn’t think Activision put enough marketing dollars behind the game, so we thought we would help them by hyping the release in our own special way.  It just so happens that “our own special way” benefits Mac gamers as well! From now through next Monday, November 15, we’re discounting ALL of our Call of Duty titles by 25%!  These include Call of Duty: Deluxe (Mac), Call of Duty 2 (Mac), and the modern classic Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Mac).  Show Activision that Mac gamers want more Call of Duty and purchase your favorite Call of Duty title from GameAgent today!
