That\u2019s what happens when you only play 12 regular season games and you see your rival just once per year, if at all. Therefore, the best way to get hyped about any coming college football season is to reminisce on special games of the past as a reminder of the special games in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the sorts of games known even by fans too young to remember their kick offs. These are the moments that sear into your psyche so vividly that you memorize where you were when they happened. These are what bring us back to college football every fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2023 season is right around the corner. This is the best way to prepare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ohio State vs. Miami, 2003<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marred in controversy, the Buckeyes won their first national championship since 1970 in a monumental upset over the dynastic Hurricanes. One man\u2019s pass interference is another man\u2019s good coverage. Twenty years later, I still wouldn\u2019t bring it up to a Miami fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NI1xsVzuGhg\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">USC at Notre Dame, 2005<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. 1 USC risked an undefeated record when it traveled to South Bend to take on No. 9 Notre Dame in 2005. The Irish had a late lead and were this close to snapping the Trojans\u2019 27-game winning streak, the longest in the country at the time, but a little push from Reggie Bush made the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KSOjkbFV9XM\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">USC vs. Texas, 2006<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember that USC winning streak? Well, it made it all the way to this game: the national championship for the 2005 season, played in the confines of the Rose Bowl. Vince Young had one of the most memorable performances in college football history and capped it off with a dramatic game-winning run cemented forever in the sport\u2019s lore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MIeus5SK_tg\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oklahoma vs. Boise State, 2007<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boise State pulled out all the tricks to overcome Oklahoma in overtime in one of the most influential games in the sport\u2019s history. The Broncos showed the public that regardless of schedule strength and recruiting stars, BCS busters could compete with the big boys when given the opportunity. Even if the powers that be stood against it, Boise State legitimized the little guy to a lot of fans at this Fiesta Bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YWKULiNY-VE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Appalachian State at Michigan, 2007<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attention wasn\u2019t on Ann Arbor in the lead-up to No. 5 Michigan\u2019s 2007 season opener. A little-known FCS team called Appalachian State was coming to the Big House, presumably to collect a check to get its clock cleaned, then scurry back to wherever it came. Vegas spotted the Wolverines&#8217;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/chalk\/story\/_\/id\/20604504\/gambling-10-biggest-college-football-pointspread-upsets-25-years\"> 33 points<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iA_zeMCnlWY\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pittsburgh at West Virginia, 2007<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On one side sat the second-ranked team in the nation, one win away from a trip to its first national championship game. On the other, a 4-7 squad already disqualified from bowl contention, languishing in the Big East\u2019s basement. Guess who won the game? I\u2019ll give you 13 guesses, but nine don\u2019t count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nB7FGIiw4O0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Texas at Texas Tech, 2008<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Nov. 1, 2008, there was a guarantee that one 8-0 team would leave Lubbock with a blemish. With eight ticks to go in the fourth quarter, one point separated the No. 1 Longhorns from the No. 8 Red Raiders. In one play, the entire complexion of the national title race flipped, and the Big 12 was wide open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Yt2DelNoGY0?si=rVpLX0_1B0iWPDJu\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Auburn at Alabama, 2010<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Auburn\u2019s path to the 2010 national championship, it called on Cam Newton to get it over the finish line on several occasions. When the No. 11 Crimson Tide led their second-ranked rivals, 24-0, in the second quarter of the friendly confines, the Tigers asked their quarterback to save their title hopes. The Camback was one of many magical moments that secured Newton\u2019s Heisman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rcdbT6Gyj0I?si=MlxRa4OYjZIDDI2_\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alabama at Auburn, 2013<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m sorry to bring up another bad memory, Alabama fans, but I can\u2019t feel bad: you knew this would be here. There are few plays more famous in all of college football than the Kick Six, which determined the outcome of one of the most highly-anticipated Iron Bowls ever. Ten years later, it\u2019s still never old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6Jet8D_pMsg?si=jTuHPBmg-LNxe3wx\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Florida State vs. Auburn, 2014<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Florida State and Auburn sent the BCS off with a bang as the Seminoles put together a 21-point fourth quarter to secure the program\u2019s first national championship since 1999. Jameis Winston connected on a two-yard touchdown strike to Kelvin Benjamin with 13 seconds to play to catapult FSU into the front seat, and the school\u2019s second-ever undefeated season was complete. Don\u2019t forget some memorable interviews after the fact, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uTA0y_5nrOg?si=Kta22kZaeCBZGKi2\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baylor at TCU, 2014<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this defense-optional outing, the Big 12 Championship Game was unintentionally reborn. Baylor closed the contest with 24 unanswered points to come back on its in-state rival, issuing the Horned Frogs their only conference defeat of the year. The Bears otherwise fell to West Virginia, the Big 12 refused to pick on as its sole champion, and neither were included in the College Football Playoff. The league re-instituted its title game three years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WbJU2_arFOE?si=wMVAqhckelCiWOpf\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Michigan State at Michigan, 2015<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michigan had dropped six of its last seven meetings with Michigan State, but it appeared like the Wolverines would have bragging rights in the waning moments at the Big House. All it needed to do was successfully punt and kill 10 seconds, and the undefeated No. 7 Spartans would be vanquished. \u201cWhoa, he has trouble with the snap!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eO-528MxiCU?si=h2ydOiOhHCsX8ejQ\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Michigan at Ohio State, 2016<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. 3 Michigan against No. 2 Ohio State, a trip to the Big Ten Championship and national title hopes on the line \u2013 it doesn\u2019t get much better than that, especially when the teams deliver what they did in 2016. Overtime was required for the first time to decide The Game. It took two extra periods and a healthy dose of controversy, but it was Curtis Samuel who had the pleasure of galloping for the game\u2019s final score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/anF2UJ6g7M0?si=OXV42DvOIZ0_Bsgv\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clemson vs. Alabama, 2017<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the second year in a row, Clemson and Alabama were paired in the College Football Playoff Final. The Crimson Tide got the better of the Tigers in 2016, and they were<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbnation.com\/college-football\/2016\/1\/8\/10730456\/clemson-alabama-odds-2016-college-football-playoff-title-game-betting-lines\"> seven-point favorites<\/a> heading into the rematch. Clemson hadn\u2019t won a national title since 1981. It took until the very end, but that changed that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Mq4HpjWl5YE?si=Ia6uh3Rc7lBrPPcc\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Georgia vs. Oklahoma, 2018<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his second year in Athens, head coach Kirby Smart had the Bulldogs making their initial playoff appearance in 2017, two wins away from their first national triumph since 1980. It took two overtimes and plenty of drama, but under Pasadena\u2019s setting sun, Georgia found a way in its first trip back to the Rose Bowl<a href=\"https:\/\/news.uga.edu\/75-years-uga-returns-rose-bowl\/\"> in 75 years<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7LiCPpTTzCA?si=twpOY_wWEcKC4Khq\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alabama vs. Georgia, 2018<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To achieve its first natty in nearly four decades, Georgia had to go through the champion of four of the previous eight seasons. Midway through the third quarter, the Dawgs had a 20-7 advantage. By the end of regulation, the score was knotted at 20, and Georgia was forced into its third overtime period of the playoff. This one didn\u2019t go as well, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YO0n_GdpLxY?si=JQHIdcKLH34XR65Q\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ole Miss at Mississippi State, 2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neither side in the 2019 Egg Bowl was vying for the SEC title, let alone a national championship \u2013 Ole Miss came into the game 4-7, while Mississippi State was 5-6 and required a win to become bowl eligible. The Rebels and Bulldogs have one of the nastiest, most intense in-state rivalries in college football. It\u2019s also the only one I can think of that had an outcome arranged by a player\u2019s spirited rendition of a urinating dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9LiFj1zsFBE?si=T2tKHBJKL2pa710T\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alabama at Tennessee, 2022<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the crown jewel of 2022, No. 6 Tennessee hadn\u2019t beaten arch-rival No. 3 Alabama since the Bush administration and needed a statement win to declare itself back on the national stage. In the second half alone, there were three ties and four lead changes as the Crimson Tide and Volunteers combined for 101 points. After Alabama missed a 50-yarder with 15 seconds to go, Hendon Hooker completed two passes for 45 total yards to set up Chase McGrath to kick Knoxville into a frenzy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ehxfl9K9Jgg?si=Cq5dTnaJJIHej_KR\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 0 has come and gone, and now it&#8217;s time for the real show.
