College Football

Here are some of the best games of the last decade.

1.January 4th, 2006 Texas defeats USC 41-38
USC was supposed to easily beat Texas in the National Championship in 2006 and with 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter it looked like they would beat Texas. But the Longhorns wouldn't go away. With 19 seconds to go in the game, Texas was down 38-33. Texas QB Vince Young made a heroic play being chased out of the pocket and running in for the score. Texas ended up winning 41-38 coming back from a 31-23 deficit with late in the fourth quarter.

2.September 29th, 2007 Auburn defeats UF 20-17
Many Florida fans would like to forget this day in history. They were the defending National Champions and were considered unstoppable. But at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium that night, their opponents the Auburn Tigers walked in as underdogs and out as winners. Florida going in to the final minutes of the fourth quarter had all the momentum, coming back to tie it up 17-17 after losing 17-3 at the beginning of the fourth quarter. But Auburn came back down the field and in the final seconds kicked a 45 yard field goal to win it.

3.September 1 2007 App St defeats Michigan 33-32
This was provably the biggest upset in college football history. Appalachian State entered the Big House, full of excited and happy Michigan fans. But after the game, the Big House was full of heart broken and sad fans. Michigan was losing most of the game but came back and got it to 32-34 only down by two. But Michigan got the ball back got to the App State 27 and attempted a 37 yard field goal in the final seconds to win. Everyone expected it to go in but App State blocked it to win! Everyone was shocked. WOW!
These were the best games of the last decade.

After killing USC last week, many people thought that Oregon would roll all over Stanford. But we were wrong. Even though Oregon was down by 10 after the first quarter, many people still thought Oregon would come back and win but when Stanford pulled ahead 28-42 at the end of the third it looked like the game was over. But after Oregon scored two TD's and made the game 48-42 Stanford sealed the victory when Nate Whitaker kicked a 48 yard field goal to win the game. Oregon may have lost but their still a good team. Jeremiah Masoli threw for three TD's and LaMichael James ran for a sixty yard TD Oregon is still better than alot of the top 25 teams and they lost to a good team. This was a clash of the PAC-10's most talented teams. Stanford gained alot of respect from other teams and should be proud that they beat Oregon.

Two years ago, when USC was number one in the nation, they marched into Eugene Oregon looking for another easy PAC-10 game on their way to the BCS. But they were wrong. After getting beat by the Ducks in 2007, USC has had lots of problems with PAC-10 teams. USC is determined to go to the title game this year, even after losing to Washington. But if thy lose this game to Oregon, they won't make the BCS and their streak of seven straight PAC-10 titles will be over. Matt Barkley will have to be close to perfect against this Oregon pass defense because I don't think they will get much rushing yards against a Oregon defense that held California RB Jhavid Best to 55 yards. Plus, Oregon QB Jeremiah Masoli has been a big surprise this season so look for him to throw some TD passes. But in the end, even though USC has tons of talent, Oregon wins and ends up in the Rose Bowl.
