Last Saturday in College Football, the #3 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes and the #4 ranked Auburn Tigers got lucky. At least that is what some fans and pundits will tell
you.
The Buckeyes narrowly escaped defeat when Michigan’s
two-point conversion pass was intercepted in the final seconds of the
game. Even more telling, the fall of Alabama increased the possibility that an Urban Meyer team would luck their way into another BCS National Championship game for
the second time in a decade (their 2006 invite came as a result of UCLA's upset of then undefeated USC).
And the Tigers, well, let’s just say that it isn’t common
for the Crimson Tide (the two-time defending National Champions) to miss four field goals
and allow a 107 yard touchdown run with one second remaining on the clock. And then there was the instant replay
that put one crucial second back on the clock. Uncanny!
