Clemson 38 - 24 Auburn (Final)

There were no last-minute heroics for Auburn this week, as Clemson was able to dominate possession down the stretch. And so, for the first time since 1988, the UCFC has gone to the Clemson Tigers. Clemson's UCFC record is now 5-8.

Auburn falls to 17-9 in UCFC matchups, and the SEC loses the title for the first time since January 8, 2009, when Florida beat Oklahoma for the 2008 BCS championship. The SEC had held the title for 32 games in a row.

The ACC takes over the title for the first time since October 7, 2000, when Florida State lost the UCFC to Miami of Florida (who was a Big East school back then) by the score of 27-24.

Interestingly, Florida State will be rolling into Clemson next week -- so Clemson's first defense will be extremely difficult.
