Michigan (7:30 p.m.
CT)According to CBS Sports' Matt Norlander, teams that go 2-0 on Monday and Tuesday will pool into the Wednesday's championship round.With only two game results to determine who gets to play for the championship, and with more than two teams inevitably going undefeated in their initial matchups, point differential, total points scored and points allowed will all affect the tally and serve as tiebreakers, just like in 2024.Auburn and Oregon have faced off just once before, with the Tigers winning a December 2000 matchup 101-97, ironically enough, at a neutral site in Las Vegas.
Like the Ducks, Auburn has played Michigan just once.
