Maybe the best time in college football.
The all-inclusive, regular season playoff continues as conference play heats up and is essentially a bunch of quarter- and semi-final games.
On November 1, 2008, Michael Crabtree and Texas Tech took down undefeated Texas.
On November 3, 1990, Scott Sisson and Georgia Tech knocked off No. 1 Virginia in Charlottesville.
On November 4, 2000, Northwestern took down Michigan, 54-51, in a game that legitimized the spread offense like few others could.
On November 5, 2011, LSU beat Alabama, 9-6, in a national title prequel.
On November 6, 2008, No. 10 Utah survived No. 11 TCU, 13-10, to pave the way for an undefeated season and Sugar Bowl win.
On November 7, 1998, Nick Saban and Michigan State did the same to one of the best Ohio State teams in Buckeye history. It pre-empted John Cooper's best shot at a national title.
On November 11, 2006, Florida's national title bid survived a visit from Steve Spurrier and South Carolina, 17-16, on a blocked field goal at the buzzer.
On November 12, 2016, Pitt’s Chris Blewitt ... didn’t. His 48-yard buzzer beater leads the Panthers to a 43-42 upset of No. 2 Clemson in Death Valley. Later that evening, Iowa freshman Keith Duncan made a 33-yarder at the buzzer to upset No. 3 Michigan in Iowa City.
On November 13, 1993, No. 2 Notre Dame beat No. 1 Florida State, 31-24, clearing the path for a title shot that would be mortally wounded seven days later.
On November 14, 1998, Arkansas' Clint Stoerner left the ball on the ground against Tennessee, and Kansas State beat Nebraska for the first time in 29 years.
On November 16, 1991, Florida State went wide right against Miami for the first time.

I was at the first game - OSU had a comfortable lead, they were receiving a punt when the guy blocking for the return man (who basically was letting it bounce) was hit in the back by the punt and didn't even know it. MSU recovered and OSU let them score 16 straight points to win 28-24. Last play was an interception in the end zone. MSU had a 6'6 receiver who the Buckeyes couldn't stop - Plaxico Burress. The Arkansas game cost Ohio State a shot in the playoff that year - they finished #3 in the BCS and Tennessee went on to win the NC. Still think that was one of the top 5 Buckeye teams of all time. |

That was the last time LSU beat Alabama Do they do it this weekend? Probably not...Alabama will pressure the QB and LSU folds. Once Alabama gets a strangle-hold on you, you're done for |

On November 16, 1991, Florida State went wide right against Miami for the first time. Miami prevented FSU from winning more National Championships...'91 and '92 FSU teams were loaded. I remember as a kid watching Florida State roll through everyone and get to the big game against Miami. It was pure intensity. I pretty much grew up on the FSU-Miami rivalry |

Never gets old...
GT managed another 17 yards in the 3rd quarter, on 4 drives.
I love shutting down GTs offense. They rush for 400 yards on everyone else it seems. |
