The back and forth momemtum and lead changes in that game were unreal.
Not sure exactly what time the game wrapped up, but it was early evening. I was so exhausted by the time it was over that I just went to bed.
That game was a war. There was some hitting that day. I think the goal line collision when Ogletree stood up Lacy was heard outside of the dome. Todd Gurley ran between the tackles against Alabama like no one else did in the early Saban years.

I remember watching every single one of those games post-2000. Was too young or wasn’t born for the other ones. Those games made me feel things. Good list.

not having 4th and 25 on there is a huge miss. That was Ole Miss' best shot at winning the SEC is decades
I can't believe I've never seen this GIF. It's incredible.

Plus the fact that they won a national title 3 years prior. It's also widely accepted that Oklahoma State would've been steamrolled by LSU in 2011, yet their loss at Iowa State is universally ranked higher on the pain index due to both their lack of a national title and the fact that it was a generational season for them.
At least Okie State won a national title a few years later.

LSU losing to Arkansas in 3OT in 2007 was #1... for 7 days

1998 Arkansas Tennessee. My life changed that day

It would've been up there had we not won the title in 2003.

1. Does Arky still lose to Moo St the next week?
2. Regardless of what happens the next week, there would've been a rematch in the SEC title game. Losing so late in the season for both teams probably puts Ohio St in the title game.

I don't think we do. Hell, gave up like a 4th and 15 as it was.

Would have loved that.

12-0 Arky against 11-1 Vols. Probably for a spot in the Fiesta Bowl since undefeated UCLA and K St had already lost. Probably against either FSU or Ohio St.
BCS before Arky/Vols game:
1. Tennessee 8-0
2. UCLA 8-0
3. Kansas State 9-0
4. FSU 9-1
5. UF 8-1
6. A&M 9-1
7. Arky 8-0
Both UF and A&M lost again so that takes them out.
Probable BCS before the final weekend with Arky beating Vols and Moo St:
1. UCLA
2. K St
3. Arky
4. Tenner
5. FSU
6. Ohio St
UCLA and K St both lost. So yeah, Arky/Vols SEC champ vs FSU and their 3rd string QB.

Imagine needing to decide between Arkansas and Tennessee with their only loss being to each other.
Posted on 4/22/22 at 5:37 pm to karmew32
Well I imagine the conference champ would get the nod, especially if it's Tennessee since they also had a win over UF. The West sucked then and Arky's OOC schedule was dogshit too. Vols also beat Big East champ Syracuse on the road.

ok st vs iowa st gets my vote...Iowa st was just pathetic, how in the hell do you lose that one

It feels like any time a non-perennial power gets in a championship position, they blow it.

How is kick 6 not on this list? It took Bama out of the title game and vaulted their hated rivals into it.
Not to mention the absurdity of the play.
BC Alabama already had a zillion natties to its name by then so they just took a nap then then won the SEC and went to the playoff the next year

Because Auburn lost that title game. In Alabama, both sides stopped talking about that season pretty quickly (unlike 2010)
As an AU fan, that 2013 loss to FSU is certainly on that list. Dominated early only to watch a fluke where our guy catches a cramp on kick coverage and they return it and then we scored way too quick because we didn't have an answer for Winston and Benjamin on their final drive.
That game still hurts.

I think the football can pass over the top of the goalpost if none of the ball passes outside the post.
If any part of the ball passes over the post, it's no good.

At least y'all had SCam Newton for that season, gimme a break, y'all def weren't gonna repeat without him and Fairley and whether y'all would repeat in 14 was very suspect cmon that was wishful thinking

2. Kansas State 33 vs. Texas A&M 36 2OT (1998/Big 12 Championship Game)
That was huge at the time. America was rooting for the Cinderella...the ultimate Cinderella... It was the greatest feel good story in CFB history and Aggies had to frick it up because they were tone deaf to the nation living out there on that College Station outpost on the outskirts of civilization.
Its impossible to put into words how bad K-State was the preceding decades...think Temple...maybe 80s Oregon Stats, shite Northwestern going to the Rose Bowl in the 90s made them look like Ohio State compared to K-State.
K-State was so bad they went 6-27 in 3 years in the 70's and were still put on probation by the NCAA for cheating. They couldn't even cheat to a 25% winning %.
(While all of America was rooting against you Aggies, did you go to Mary Lou Retton's house after the game and piss on her Gold Medal? Did you break Keri Strug's other ankle with Nancy's lead pipe? Did you flip he bird to he 1989 Olympic Hockey team?
After that cheating scandal where K-state went 6-27, they went another 5 years without a winning season which resulted in their first ever bowl bid in school history in 1982 where they scored 3 points against 6-5 Wisconsin and lost.
The next two years K-State won 3 games each year against 1-8-2 TCU and then opened 1985 with loses to two 1AA schools.
In 1989 Bill Snyder took over a program that had the worst record in NCAA Division I-A (FBS) history at the time and had gone 27 consecutive games without a win (0–26–1) dating to October 1986.
From 1935 to 1988, the last year before Snyder's arrival, Kansas State had won 137 games in total.
Since the 1982 Independence Bowl season, the Wildcats had won a total of seven games. Snyder then presided over one of the most successful rebuilding projects in the history of college athletics.
And you fricking self-absorbed, obtuse, isolated cult Aggies had to frick it all up. For what? You weren't going to play for the title.
This is the genesis of hundreds of thousands hating Aggie to this day. You fricked the nation of a great story only to fart out a boring loss in the Sugar Bowl.

10 years removed from being billed "Futility U" by Sports Illustrated, the Wildcats found themselves at 11-0 and ranked in the top 2 in both polls but #3 in the BCS.
Snyder will go down as one of the Goats.
He won with 2 deep of 2 star talent.
