AUBURN, Ala. - Thanks to the great support of Auburn fans, a blocked punt by Jerraud Powers that was returned 15 yards for the go-ahead touchdown by Tre Smith to key Auburn's 27-17 upset of No. 2 Florida on Oct. 14 is one of four plays that has advanced to the final round of the NCAA Football Pontiac Game Changing Performance of the Year. Pontiac provided a $5,000 contribution to Auburn's general scholarship fund when it was voted the top play of that week, but now the university is one step away from winning the Pontiac Game Changing Performance of the Year and earning an additional $100,000 general scholarship award.

Voting for the top four has begun and the winner of the $100,000 scholarship will be announced during halftime of the National Championship Game.

Now more than ever, students, fans and alumni need to show their support by going to www.pontiac.com/ncaa to vote for the Pontiac Game Changing Performance of the Year.

Other schools that have plays in the final round of the competition are Clemson, Iowa and Oregon State.
