re: 10 most depressing losses in CFB history

The CFB equivalent of Tom Watson losing the 2009 British Open to Stewart Cink (who never led during regulation).
These three things make it additionally more painful:
1. Kansas State was favored by 17.
2. Kansas State controlled the game, taking the lead on their first drive and never even letting the Aggies tie it until the final minute of regulation.
3. Instead of Kansas State, we got to see a Florida State team with their backup QB in the title game.
Although I think 13-9 was more painful for WVU than 1998 was for KSU, I think the 1998 Big 12 CCG was the most devastating loss for neutral fans in CFB history. It had all the elements: the sentimental favorite being heavily favored and controlling the game only to lose somehow and the team that benefited the most being much less appealing,

And K St finished #3 in the BCS but fell all the way to the Alamo Bowl when the Orange Bowl took us instead.
