I would say red oak. I have split a lot of white oak in the last 2 years and the bark is a bit flatter with white. Besides, who cares, it is oak. No mistaken that smell. Isn't it wonderful.
 
I think it is something in the Red Oak group, maybe Scarlet or Pin Oak. Doesn't matter much, since all the Red Oak group have pretty much the same wood when you're using it for firewood.

We must be looking at different pictures. Aside from a slight hollow center, I see zero actual rot, or "punk".

Yep I was looking at first pic. Other pic much better. I say Red a Oak also.
 
Oak is easy to identify by the rays that are perpendicular to the growth rings. Sorry for the joke of a picture, by drawing skills are pathetic.

Once you learn to look for those, oak is very easy to pick out, even without bark and with lots of rot.
