Auburn-Alabama game ends on missed FG return for TD

[JDot]

The interesting thing is that time had expired and they went back and reviewed the play and put 1 second back on the clock.

I'm a Buckeye fan, so this was a great day of college football.

If Auburn wins the SEC champ game they will jump OSU. Just watch.

Plus I don't think OSU will beat MSU.

No, they won't, they were a full .100 behind, which is more than double what Ohio State was behind FSU, and they will have closed that gap today.
They won't lose to Michigan State.

The OSU MSU game is going to come down to MSU's O Vs OSU D. I think MSU has a slight edge.

I just don't see a SEC team left out. I have no logical explanation, but then again the BCS polls are not very logical. That .100 lead is coming down tomorrow.

I am a Ducks fan, I have no dog in this fight. My only hope is Mariota stays one more year. Lol.

Because there are 2 undefeated teams.
Not to mention they should go ahead of the 1 loss team that beat them today.

Whole system is pretty whack. That's like if Denver couldn't make the super bowl for losing that game the other night. Hopefully this new playoff system next year is a big step up. Part of the reason I can't get into college football is this whole BCS crap. Should be one winner instead of like 50 meaningless bowl games.

What a phenomenal game. That kid should have been kicking for Alabama after the starter missed his first field goal attempt, Nevermind the second and the third. An Alabama loss all but guarantees a national championship win for FSU, unfortunately. Bama was the most capable team out of them, Auburn, and Ohio State of locking Jameis Winston down. I actually think Ohio State would get slaughtered by FSU.

.100 is a huge gap. It's almost impossible for a 1 loss team to pass an undefeated team from a major conference.

That game and the Michigan/OSU game were great.


That Michigan game ending ...UGH....What would Brady have done?

argh, hate the ending. don't blame the decision, but it was a bad play call.

That's absolute insanity.

Auburn not only lost a game this year, but they lost 49-0. There's no controversy between #2 and #3 on any level.

The scenarios have all been played out. If Ohio State beats Michigan St next Saturday, they'll definitely be playing Florida St for the national title.

People can hate on Ohio State all they want, but their strength of schedule was actually harder than Florida State's was. When you win 24 games in a row (25 would have to get them in), you probably deserve to play in the title game even if you only played a few top 25 teams (Wisconsin, AT Northwestern who was ranked #16 at the time, Michigan St). Let's not act like Florida State had any more of a difficult schedule, because they didn't. That's a fact that can't be disputed.

Nope. FSU's schedule was a cake walk.

With over a month to prepare, Urban Meyer's experience vs Florida State in general (as you are well aware of as a Florida fan), their more than capable running game both at RB and at QB, the game may be a lot closer than you think. I'm not sure why anyone would think that Winston is so much better than Braxton Miller? Miller will pose any team problems with his ability to both run and pass just the same as FSU. And the OSU strength of schedule was actually slightly higher than FSU, who was just about the only real team where that happened.

On top of that the district attorney is smack in the middle of potentially charging Winston with that assault on a woman charge. They said that a ruling would be coming sometime within the next week or two. If they do charge him, Florida St is down to their #3rd string QB because their 2nd string is out for the year. I'm not saying that will happen, but IF he ends up getting charged, it changes things a lot.

Does not matter what FSU SOS is at this point(They have the Coaches and Harris poll locked). Of course it is bad. A 1 loss Auburn still has better wins then OSU. I am not taking any sides. I am just saying OSU fans are going to be mad.

Auburn knocked off number 1 tonight, Missouri will be a top 5 team tomorrow. If Auburn wins the SEC champ game they will be ranked ahead of OSU. OSU is going to be the 2009 Boise State. Just watch..

Right. I'm not going to try and act like OSU didn't have an easy schedule, but it seems like a ton of people feel that FSU's was harder, and that wasn't the case--as you said.

There's a chance that FSU may blow them out, but to be honest I kind of think the teams match up better than a lot of fans think. FSU will probably win, but I don't think it's nearly as clear cut as so many feel.

You clearly do not understand the system.

That isn't true. The polls don't favor a one loss team who lost (Edit) to a weak team. It really isn't that close. These scenarios have all been played out through this past week. It isn't like no one questioned what would happen if Auburn won.

If OSU wins on Saturday vs a top 10 Michigan State team, they will definitely hold onto their #2 ranking which they will have tomorrow. There's no one loss team who will beat them out. The experts have all this stuff locked down. As AndyJohnson said, they can't make up that kind of difference. Their ceiling is at #3 unless Ohio State loses.

 

[JDot]

Actually I do. I follow college ball probably more then the NFL. You thinking OSU is a lock tells me more about your knowledge of college ball.

But You are never wrong about anything right Andy?

 

[VrabelMayeWin]

I'm no Big Ten fan but if would be a tragedy of epic proportions if a one loss Auburn or Missouri ended up ahead of either FSU or OSU.

Notice anything funny about this picture ?

Need a clue, look at the TWO OL illegally downfield just before the pass. #63 looks like he's trying to get back, there's very little chance he did - but #50 has his back turned, it's a 100% certainty he was illegally downfield when the forward pass was thrown.

They lost 35-21.

What should also be taken into account is that auburn needed that crazy hail mary to beat a bad Georgia team at home two weeks ago. auburn is OK but not special enough to jump an undefeated team from a major, though flawed, conference.

 

[supafly]

We will see.

Yeah, sorry if I'm attempting to sound like a know it all. I'm just getting sick and tired of hearing about the "controversy" every time Ohio State moves up. The controversy is over now. Their fate is in their own hands.

As of last Saturday, they needed to win and have 2 teams (Baylor--who probably was going to overtake them if they won out, and one of ALA/FSU) lose. That happened. If you look at the BCS standings, Auburn was behind pretty significantly. There was no one I heard or know who thought there was even a remote possibility that Auburn would beat out Ohio State if they upset Alabama, and I watched every single possible TV show and podcast about it.

EDIT: Their problem is that they not only lost a game, they lost to a weak team. They aren't going to be able to make up the difference, but as you said--we will see. Ohio State needs to win next Saturday first, or the whole thing is moot.

This is all very logical and on point. But the BCS is non of those things.
