<v Speaker 1>from past episodes, and I'm telling you right now we

<v Speaker 1>are dipping way back into the archives.

<v Speaker 2>We are going back to.

<v Speaker 1>The early days of the Daily Dose Sports podcast.

<v Speaker 2>These are going back to like two thousand and fifteen, sixteen.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're going back aways. So Hey today I'm the Dose.

<v Speaker 1>I've got some college football flavor Daily Dose top fives

<v Speaker 1>I think you're going to enjoy. So sit back, relax,

<v Speaker 1>and enjoy some of the best of the Daily Dose

<v Speaker 1>Sports podcast. Now, as we do every single week, we

<v Speaker 1>have our Daily Dose Top five. We do this every

<v Speaker 1>single week, a very popular segment on the Daily Dose

<v Speaker 1>Sports podcast. Our Daily Dose Top five this week is

<v Speaker 1>most memorable BCS games. You know, the BCS is now gone.

<v Speaker 1>We've got the College Football Playoff. For me, that's good

<v Speaker 1>and riddance because I didn't really care for the BCS,

<v Speaker 1>although for the most part, they only got it wrong

<v Speaker 1>two or three times, but it was some big misses

<v Speaker 1>and I just think this situation is better. We'll talk

<v Speaker 1>a little bit more about that in just a second,

<v Speaker 1>but let's get to the Daily Dose Top five most

<v Speaker 1>memorable BCS games. Number five on our list the nineteen

<v Speaker 1>ninety nine Fiesta Bowl and you might remember this. It

<v Speaker 1>was the very very first Beast d National Championship game.

<v Speaker 1>We had Tennessee volunteers actually beat Florida State Seminoles twenty

<v Speaker 1>three to sixteen, and t Martin did what Peyton Manning

<v Speaker 1>was unable to do during his time at Tennessee, kept

<v Speaker 1>finding a way to win, kept finding a way to

<v Speaker 1>get past the teams that Peyton hadn't been able to do.

<v Speaker 1>He was able to beat Florida for change, and then

<v Speaker 1>he was able to win the big win and win

<v Speaker 1>the National Championship. Peerless Price in this game, you might remember,

<v Speaker 1>had four catches for one hundred and ninety nine yards.

<v Speaker 1>I mean it wasn't just that he was beating him.

<v Speaker 1>He beat them deep for big plays. He had the

<v Speaker 1>one touchdown Florida State. Whatever you do, don't let Peerless

<v Speaker 1>get behind you, because he continued to do this again

<v Speaker 1>and again and again in nineteen ninety nine, number four

<v Speaker 1>on our daily dose, Top five, twenty eleven. And you

<v Speaker 1>might remember this the BCS title game in Arizona. It

<v Speaker 1>was Auburn twenty two, Oregon nineteen. You know, everyone thought

<v Speaker 1>when these two teams came together, you know, you had

<v Speaker 1>Cam Newton with Auburn, everyone thought it was going to

<v Speaker 1>be a real high scoring Gamely wasn't. It was actually

<v Speaker 1>kind of at times, a little bit of a boring game,

<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a defensive game. But if you remember,

<v Speaker 1>on the final possession, with the game tied, Auburn is

<v Speaker 1>driving running back Michael Dyer was tackled, maybe got five

<v Speaker 1>or six yards, didn't look like he was gonna get much.

<v Speaker 1>He spins and his knee never touched. He gets up,

<v Speaker 1>takes off, gets thirty seven yards, and Auburn gets in

<v Speaker 1>field goal range, kicks a field goal to win it.

<v Speaker 1>They reviewed it, of course his knee hadn't touched, and

<v Speaker 1>Auburn wins the National Championship game and at least for

<v Speaker 1>a long time kept that BCS Championship game in the

<v Speaker 1>SEC until just last year. So that is our number four.

<v Speaker 1>Michael Dyer spinning out, not going down, and getting up,

<v Speaker 1>finding a way to get Auburn passed Oregon. Our number

<v Speaker 1>three most memorable BCS game the two thousand and three

<v Speaker 1>Fiesta Bowl. Who could forget Ohio State beating Miami in

<v Speaker 1>two overtimes. Keep in mind that that Miami team was

<v Speaker 1>on a thirty four game winning streak, they were defending

<v Speaker 1>champions from the previous season, and Ohio State was a

<v Speaker 1>double digit underdog. I remember turning that game on and thinking,

<v Speaker 1>this probably won't be much of a game, but you know,

<v Speaker 1>you just kind of have it on in the background.

<v Speaker 1>The Miami Hurricanes turned it over five times. I don't

<v Speaker 1>care what happens. You turn over five times, bad things

<v Speaker 1>are gonna happen. You might remember the Ohio State goal

<v Speaker 1>line stand. You had the pass interference that may or

<v Speaker 1>may not have been past interference. Who knows all as

<v Speaker 1>I know is if you turned over five times, you're

<v Speaker 1>taking your chances. And that's what happened in Miami that day.

<v Speaker 1>Ohio State beats Miami thirty one twenty four in two overtimes.

<v Speaker 1>You know, when you look back at that team for Miami,

<v Speaker 1>they were absolutely absolutely loaded with talent. I don't know

<v Speaker 1>how you weren't a better team and how they somehow,

<v Speaker 1>I believe that was Craig Krenzel for Ohio State. Somehow

<v Speaker 1>they found a way to beat this team. But that

<v Speaker 1>Miami team was absolutely loaded with talent. I mean, they

<v Speaker 1>just they had so many players you had, I mean

<v Speaker 1>that was that was when they had Larry Koker and

<v Speaker 1>I mean they were just they were loaded. A really,

<v Speaker 1>really good team that year. But you know, found a

<v Speaker 1>way to found a way to drop the ball against

<v Speaker 1>Ohio State. And I know they're still mad about the

<v Speaker 1>interference call and then the phantom interference call, and I

<v Speaker 1>get it, but you were loaded that year and absolutely

<v Speaker 1>should have found a way to win our number two

<v Speaker 1>game on the most memorable BCS game. What else could

<v Speaker 1>you have on this The two thousand and seven Fiesta

<v Speaker 1>Bowl Boise State forty three Oklahoma forty two in overtime.

<v Speaker 1>You know, Boise was undefeated coming into this game, but

<v Speaker 1>obviously come from that little conference, huge underdog going against Oklahoma,

<v Speaker 1>there's no way they're going to come into it. I

<v Speaker 1>mean they there was questions if Boise should have even

<v Speaker 1>been in this Fiesta Bowl because they were from the

<v Speaker 1>small conference. They hadn't really played anybody that big time.

<v Speaker 1>There were questions should they even be in this game.

<v Speaker 1>And if you'll remember, they jumped out to a big

<v Speaker 1>lead early. I believe it was like twenty eight to ten,

<v Speaker 1>and they give that up and in fact late through

<v Speaker 1>an interception and Oklahoma took the lead. Boise came right

<v Speaker 1>back down the field went I mean pulling tricks out

<v Speaker 1>of the bag, went hook and ladder, went statue of

<v Speaker 1>liberty on a two point conversion. You know, when they

<v Speaker 1>scored the touchdown to tie it, well you would think

<v Speaker 1>tie it, kick the extra point, tie it would go

<v Speaker 1>into overtime. They you know, said no, we're gonna go

<v Speaker 1>for this. In overtime, went with the statue of liberty,

<v Speaker 1>hand off behind the back, running back runs it and

<v Speaker 1>I believe that Ian Johnson runs it in and then

<v Speaker 1>goes and proposes to his girlfriend. If you remember anything

<v Speaker 1>from the BCS era, that is one of the Bowl games.

<v Speaker 1>It wasn't the National Championship Game, obviously, but that is

<v Speaker 1>one of the most memorable games that might be out

<v Speaker 1>there in the in the era of the BCS, the

<v Speaker 1>number one most memorable BCS game. I mean, what else

<v Speaker 1>could you go with? It was easily the most memorable.

<v Speaker 1>It was the National Championship Game, and that is the

<v Speaker 1>two thousand and six Rose Bowl went. Texas came back

<v Speaker 1>and beat USC forty one to thirty eight. You know

<v Speaker 1>Vince Young, I mean he almost single handedly beat Liner

<v Speaker 1>and Bush. Keep in mind that Liner and Bush were

<v Speaker 1>the two Heisman Trophy winners. Bush had won the Heisman

<v Speaker 1>just prior to this. Of course, that was later vacated.

<v Speaker 1>We won't talk about that. Vince Young had two hundred

<v Speaker 1>and sixty seven yards passing and two hundred yards rushing

<v Speaker 1>in this game. Brought them back numerous times, kept them

<v Speaker 1>in it, and somehow Texas was able to hold on

<v Speaker 1>and knock off USC easily easily the most memorable BCS

<v Speaker 1>game in that BCS era. Now, I know that there

<v Speaker 1>has been some complaining about you know, did the Playoff

<v Speaker 1>Committee get it right? Did they pick the correct teams?

<v Speaker 1>I will say this, no matter what teams they picked,

<v Speaker 1>and the teams we talked about earlier Florida State, Oregon

<v Speaker 1>and then Alabama, Ohiose State.

<v Speaker 2>No matter what.

<v Speaker 1>Games they picked, it's still better than the BCS. Do

<v Speaker 1>not forget that. Don't get that part of it twisted,

<v Speaker 1>because it is still better than the BCS because if

<v Speaker 1>nothing else, after these games are done, we get one

<v Speaker 1>more game. And keep in mind, if this was the

<v Speaker 1>old regime, if this was the old BCS, here's the

<v Speaker 1>game that would have been played. We would be playing

<v Speaker 1>Florida State versus Alabama, and that would be it. Oregon

<v Speaker 1>would have no say in it, Ohio State would have

<v Speaker 1>no say in it, and those other teams wouldn't even

<v Speaker 1>have been close in a say in it, you know,

<v Speaker 1>TCU and Baylor and whoever else, they wouldn't have even

<v Speaker 1>been in the conversation. So for all the complaints that

<v Speaker 1>I've heard about the Playoff Committee and you know what

<v Speaker 1>teams they pick, it's better than the BCS. Do not

<v Speaker 1>forget that. Hey, do make sure that you're stalking by

<v Speaker 1>We would love to hear what you have to say. Now,

<v Speaker 1>let's get back to the best of the Daily Dose

<v Speaker 1>Sports podcast. But right now I want to jump into

<v Speaker 1>our first top five list of the day, and our

<v Speaker 1>first top five list is the most overrated college football

<v Speaker 1>player of all time. Now, it's not that easy to

<v Speaker 1>put this together. I'll be honest with you. As I

<v Speaker 1>started to do this, I really really started to struggle

<v Speaker 1>because it's hard. There are so many kids that come

<v Speaker 1>out of high school that we have rated wayaway too high.

<v Speaker 1>We have the guys that come into college and they

<v Speaker 1>just they never make it. They're never any good, they

<v Speaker 1>never turn out. I kind of went with guys that

<v Speaker 1>we actually think of now as actually been pretty good

<v Speaker 1>and they might be just a little more overrated than

<v Speaker 1>you initially think. And it's also hard to separate some

<v Speaker 1>of these players college careers from what they did in

<v Speaker 1>the NFL, because I can look, I could a million

<v Speaker 1>different players and say, well, yeah, they were good in college,

<v Speaker 1>but what happened in the NFL. Well, wrong system, wrong,

<v Speaker 1>wrong whatever, wrong coaching staff wrong, you know, just a

<v Speaker 1>wrong scheme for them to be in. There's a number

<v Speaker 1>of death but I'm talking about when they were in college.

<v Speaker 1>They might not have been as good as you think.

<v Speaker 1>And every year the media is jamming someone down our throat.

<v Speaker 1>It's usually Notre Dame, but they're jamming someone down our

<v Speaker 1>throat and that ends up not being quite as good.

<v Speaker 1>So here are the most overrated college football players of

<v Speaker 1>all time. And again, these aren't the guys that were

<v Speaker 1>a complete miss. These are the guys that you might

<v Speaker 1>think of as being good, as being really really good.

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna tell you why they're not quite as good

<v Speaker 1>as you think, and don't get mad at me. I'm

<v Speaker 1>just stating facts. Number five on our list of most

<v Speaker 1>overrated college football players of all time, USC quarterback Matt Liner.

<v Speaker 1>Now I know I know Liner's stats look great. He

<v Speaker 1>was thirty seven and two as a starter, two time

<v Speaker 1>Orange Bowl MVP. He won the Heisman in two thousand

<v Speaker 1>and four. You know, for his career, he threw ninety

<v Speaker 1>nine touchdowns, He had twenty three interceptions. Now, for one,

<v Speaker 1>we think back to other USC quarterbacks that maybe weren't

<v Speaker 1>that great, like Matt Barkley, like Mark Sanchez, like John

<v Speaker 1>David Boody, like a little bit of Carson Palmer, maybe

<v Speaker 1>never really quite turned out. But when you think of

<v Speaker 1>Matt Liner, you think of that great run that that

<v Speaker 1>USC team had. He had a lot of talent around

<v Speaker 1>him too. He had a ton of talent around him.

<v Speaker 1>I mean Reggie Bush and Lendale White in the backfield

<v Speaker 1>just standing right next to him for starters. But here's

<v Speaker 1>the one thing that I want you to think about.

<v Speaker 1>They played no one. They didn't play anyone any of

<v Speaker 1>those seasons. The Pac ten was horrible in those seasons.

<v Speaker 1>Do you realize that in his bowl games, USC played

<v Speaker 1>a John Navar Michigan team, a Jason White Oklahoma team

<v Speaker 1>over I might add an undefeated Auburn team, who is

<v Speaker 1>all who we all wanted them to play. We didn't

<v Speaker 1>want USC playing that horrible home team. We knew that,

<v Speaker 1>we knew how that was gonna go. We wanted USC

<v Speaker 1>to play an undefeated Auburn team that had somehow gone

<v Speaker 1>through the SEC undefeated, but then they weren't given anything.

<v Speaker 1>This was just a little bit before the times. This

<v Speaker 1>was just a little bit before we started realizing how

<v Speaker 1>good the SEC was at the time, and we said,

<v Speaker 1>oh no, Oklahoma, We Oklahoma was good back in the seventies.

<v Speaker 1>Let's see im them in there. So we got a

<v Speaker 1>Jason White Oklahoma squad instead of Auburn. But here's the

<v Speaker 1>thing about Matt Liners. Matt Lioner in his biggest game,

<v Speaker 1>in his biggest game of his career, faces Vince Young

<v Speaker 1>and Texas in the Rose Bowl and loses to Vince Young.

<v Speaker 1>Now here's my challenge to you. With losing to Vince

<v Speaker 1>Young and Texas, name another player on that Texas team.

<v Speaker 1>Liner should have won that game single handedly, and he failed.

<v Speaker 1>Here's the other thing. USC, in the years that Liner

<v Speaker 1>was there, played twelve ranked teams total plus plus. I

<v Speaker 1>know you're sitting there and you're saying, well, yeah, Matt Liner,

<v Speaker 1>he did okay when he was at USC. Let me

<v Speaker 1>just throw this out at you. And this is the clincher.

<v Speaker 1>Matt Liner was in a hot tub with Paris Hilton.

<v Speaker 1>You're gonna tell me he wasn't overrated. That totally epitomizes

<v Speaker 1>being overrated. Matt Liner in a hot tub with Paris Hilton.

<v Speaker 1>Ugh can't have that. That is our number five entry

<v Speaker 1>on most College Most Overrated college football Player of all Time.

<v Speaker 1>Let's move forward to number four. And I know I'm

<v Speaker 1>going to get some people angry when I put this

<v Speaker 1>guy's name out there, because when you think of him,

<v Speaker 1>he's the little guy that could, He's the little guy

<v Speaker 1>that got it done. Doug Flutie at Boston College. We

<v Speaker 1>all remember the hell Mary versus Miami, And I'll be

<v Speaker 1>honest with you, I'm not a Miami fan. I love

<v Speaker 1>him for that, I love him for beating Miami the

<v Speaker 1>way that he did on that last second play, but

<v Speaker 1>let's be honest. He wasn't that great in his career

<v Speaker 1>at Boston College. And he basically started and played all

<v Speaker 1>four seasons, seventy touchdowns, fifty six interceptions, Are you kidding me?

<v Speaker 1>Fifty six interceptions? He averaged less than three thousand yards

<v Speaker 1>per season. He wins the Heisman in eighty four. Basically

<v Speaker 1>on that one play against Miami. Boston College went thirty

<v Speaker 1>two and fourteen underd Fluty in eighty four when Heisman.

<v Speaker 1>When Fluty wins the Heisman, they were ten to two.

<v Speaker 1>He had thirty touchdowns, He had thirteen interceptions. He threw

<v Speaker 1>for about thirty six hundred yards. The guy who finished third,

<v Speaker 1>the guy who finished third and on this season, I

<v Speaker 1>believe Boston College finished like eleventh on the season, the

<v Speaker 1>guy who finished third place had thirty three touchdowns, only

<v Speaker 1>eleven interceptions, thirty nine hundred yards owing his team won

<v Speaker 1>the national championship, and that was Robbie Bosco with Byu.

<v Speaker 1>Byu won the national championship. But somehow, because of that

<v Speaker 1>play against Miami, we've just kind of catapulted Doug Flutie

<v Speaker 1>up into one of the greatest quarterbacks in one of

<v Speaker 1>the greatest college football players of all time. He's good,

<v Speaker 1>he wasn't great. Number three on our list most overrated

<v Speaker 1>college football players of all time. You knew a Notre

<v Speaker 1>Dame guy was gonna get on here. It really it's

<v Speaker 1>not a matter of if a noted it's just who,

<v Speaker 1>Because oh, I had so many, so many to choose

<v Speaker 1>from Ron Pallas, Brady Quinn. But I went with Rick

<v Speaker 1>Meyer at Notre Dame. You know, he got a ton

<v Speaker 1>of credit for a couple of a few different reasons.

<v Speaker 1>For one, he was a quarterback. Two he was at

<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame. Three he was white. Meyer was twenty nine

<v Speaker 1>seven and one as a starter, solid, solid, not great,

<v Speaker 1>but he had so much help. I want you to

<v Speaker 1>think of the players that were at Notre Dame when

<v Speaker 1>he was a starting quarterback there, Ricky Waters, Dorsey Levins,

<v Speaker 1>Jrome Bettis, rocket Isemil, Reggie Brooks, Tony Brooks, Derek Brown.

<v Speaker 1>He was loaded on offense. He had everybody around him.

<v Speaker 1>In his career, rick Meyer forty one touchdowns and twenty

<v Speaker 1>three interceptions.

<v Speaker 2>He's probably a better.

<v Speaker 1>Runner than he was a passer. And somehow, and again

<v Speaker 1>I tried to separate their NFL career. Somehow, Rick Meyer

<v Speaker 1>had twelve seasons in the NFL despite being a pretty

<v Speaker 1>bad passer. If you want to go back to that

<v Speaker 1>Orange Bowl that Notre Dame played versus Colorado, when Colorado

<v Speaker 1>ekes out of victory like ten to nine, you know

<v Speaker 1>they called back the punt on rocketed smile and all

<v Speaker 1>that look at how inaccurate rick Meyer was. He consistently

<v Speaker 1>threw the ball to the wrong jersey all night despite

<v Speaker 1>being a poor passer. Somehow, rick Meyer played twelve seasons

<v Speaker 1>in the NFL. For his career in the NFL, fifty touchdowns,

<v Speaker 1>seventy six interceptions. And again I go back to the

<v Speaker 1>reason that he was in the NFL so long. He

<v Speaker 1>was a quarterback, went to Notre Dame.

<v Speaker 2>He was white.

<v Speaker 1>Number two on our list most overrated. This guy wow,

<v Speaker 1>number two quarterback again Miami Gino Toretta. You know, Treeda

<v Speaker 1>won the Heisman in nineteen ninety two. He beat out

<v Speaker 1>Marshall Falk and Garrison Hurst. And when you look at

<v Speaker 1>the numbers, Tretta was twenty three and one as a starter.

<v Speaker 1>He must have been good, right, I had forty seven touchdowns,

<v Speaker 1>he had twenty four interceptions. But you know, Miami wasn't

<v Speaker 1>really playing a lot of talent. They were an independent

<v Speaker 1>school up until ninety one. They didn't play in a conference,

<v Speaker 1>and then when they joined a conference, they played in

<v Speaker 1>the Big Least or the Big East. So they were

<v Speaker 1>playing you know, the monsters like Syracuse and pitt in

<v Speaker 1>Virginia Tech and West Virginia. Sorry, Big Rob had to

<v Speaker 1>throw in West Virginia, Rutgers, and yes, Temple, they were

<v Speaker 1>playing Temple every single year. But again, when you look

<v Speaker 1>at the talent that Gino Toretta had around him, Horace

<v Speaker 1>Copeland and Lamar Thomas and Kevin Williams, and that defense

<v Speaker 1>was absolutely loaded. Ryan McNeil, Mark, Michael Barrow, Darren Smith,

<v Speaker 1>Jesse Armstead. I mean, I don't want to exaggerate this,

<v Speaker 1>I don't want to oversimplify it, but I feel like

<v Speaker 1>I probably could have played quarterback for that Miami team

<v Speaker 1>and been pretty good. Gino Touretta, pretty overrated, won the Heisman.

<v Speaker 1>When you're doing like one of those Heisman quizzes and

<v Speaker 1>you can't come up with an answer, just throwing Gino

<v Speaker 1>Terretta because you probably forgot that he won one. Number

<v Speaker 1>one on our Most Overrated and I can already hear

<v Speaker 1>people are gonna be mad about this one. You're not

<v Speaker 1>gonna like this one number one most overrated college football player. Now,

<v Speaker 1>it's not his fault, and I'm none of these players

<v Speaker 1>on the list do I like dislike Necessarily, I don't

<v Speaker 1>particularly care this one, the situation being what it was

<v Speaker 1>you're just you're in rarefied error and you don't really

<v Speaker 1>deserve to be there. All right, I'm just gonna throw

<v Speaker 1>it out there. Number one most overrated college football player

<v Speaker 1>ever Ohio State running back Archie Griffin. He's the only

<v Speaker 1>player to win two Heisman's. He won it back to

<v Speaker 1>back in seventy four and seventy five, and we kind

<v Speaker 1>of have an unre written a rule that you have

<v Speaker 1>to be complete. I mean, he's the one got to

<v Speaker 1>do it. You have to be like out of your

<v Speaker 1>mind insanely good to win two Heismans. There will be

<v Speaker 1>guys that were like, no, they should win their second

<v Speaker 1>Heisman and will say, no, they can't.

<v Speaker 2>You can't.

<v Speaker 1>You can't win two Heismans. And it's basically because of

<v Speaker 1>Archie Griffin because when he won his second, when everyone

<v Speaker 1>kind of went, really, really, he's got to be the greatest,

<v Speaker 1>the greatest player in like college football history. Right, he

<v Speaker 1>won two Heismans? Not really, he was really really good

<v Speaker 1>in nineteen seventy four. He was really good. He ran

<v Speaker 1>for six one six hundred and ninety five yards and

<v Speaker 1>had twelve touchdowns. Pretty good. He had a six almost

<v Speaker 1>a seven yard average, six point six yards per carry,

<v Speaker 1>and Ohio State lost, you know, in their bowl game,

<v Speaker 1>they lose to in the Rose Bowl to USC They

<v Speaker 1>go ten and two. It's a it's a nice season.

<v Speaker 1>So the next year, Ohio State goes undefeated all the

<v Speaker 1>way through the regular season and as a result, everyone's like, well,

<v Speaker 1>they hand the ball off every play, like Archie Griffin

<v Speaker 1>gets the ball on every single play. Who else can

<v Speaker 1>we vote for? They're undefeated. We know he won it

<v Speaker 1>last year, but they are undefeated, and he's getting all

<v Speaker 1>these carries again. I guess we kind of got a

<v Speaker 1>vote for him again. But his numbers really weren't as good.

<v Speaker 1>He still had fourteen fourteen hundred yards, he had five touchdowns,

<v Speaker 1>he had five touchdowns. And then Ohio State gets to

<v Speaker 1>the Rose Bowl again and they lose to UCLA twenty

<v Speaker 1>three to ten in the Rose Bowl and UCLA quarterback

<v Speaker 1>John Siarra wins the MVP. Oklahoma wins the championship, and really,

<v Speaker 1>when you look at at the stats again, Ohio State's

<v Speaker 1>defense just absolutely carried them. They allowed eight points a

<v Speaker 1>game during Griffin's career. There, you didn't have to really

<v Speaker 1>do anything if you're only giving up eight points a game.

<v Speaker 1>You just had to score nine points a game. Archie

<v Speaker 1>Griffin is the most overrated college football player of all time.

<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry to break that to you, especially if you're

<v Speaker 1>a big Tan honk, especially if you're an Ohio State fan.

<v Speaker 2>I apologize.

<v Speaker 1>I'm not mad at you. I'm just stating what's.

<v Speaker 2>True out there.

<v Speaker 1>As we do every single week, we have to get

<v Speaker 1>to our daily dose top five. And you know, we

<v Speaker 1>talked a little bit earlier about, you know, the crazy

<v Speaker 1>finish that went on up at Michigan State, as Michigan

<v Speaker 1>State found a way to beat Michigan on the very

<v Speaker 1>very last play of the game, on a crazy final

<v Speaker 1>play of the game. And so today we give you

<v Speaker 1>our daily dose top five college football finishes. These are

<v Speaker 1>easily you can go find these on YouTube, really really

<v Speaker 1>easy to find. You might want to go check these

<v Speaker 1>out because some of them are absolutely insane. Number five

<v Speaker 1>on our list this week has to be the Bluegrass

<v Speaker 1>Miracle in two thousand and two. You know, in this

<v Speaker 1>game Kentucky for one, Kentucky, you know in football never

<v Speaker 1>really wins, but Kentucky had pulled the upset, they had

<v Speaker 1>beaten LSU. This game was over. They had kicked a

<v Speaker 1>field goal to take the lead thirty to twenty seven,

<v Speaker 1>and there were only eleven seconds left. They had kicked

<v Speaker 1>off and the LSU player had run out to like

<v Speaker 1>the ten. He threw one more quick play, a quick

<v Speaker 1>pass out to the LSU twenty six. You're at the

<v Speaker 1>twenty six yard line. There's no way you can throw

<v Speaker 1>it far enough to score the touchdown. So all the

<v Speaker 1>Kentucky has to do keep everything in front of you,

<v Speaker 1>don't fall for any lateral garbage, stay in your lanes,

<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna be over. In fact, Wildcat players had

<v Speaker 1>already dumped the gatorade on head coach Guy Morris LSU

<v Speaker 1>ball at their own twenty six. Marcus Randall, quarterback for LSU,

<v Speaker 1>throws it as far as he can, and I mean

<v Speaker 1>he just chucks it and it gets to maybe the

<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty thirty something like that. But instead of just

<v Speaker 1>knocking the ball down anytime on a hail Mary thing

<v Speaker 1>like this, you just slapped the ball to the ground.

<v Speaker 1>Get it to the ground as quickly as you can.

<v Speaker 1>Don't try to catch it, don't try to tip it,

<v Speaker 1>don't try to poke it. Well, Kentucky tried to intercept it,

<v Speaker 1>and it hits one kid right in the chest and

<v Speaker 1>pops straight up and wide receiver deVie Henderson catches it

<v Speaker 1>on a dead run and scores. Let me tell you

<v Speaker 1>how over this game was. They had dumped the gator

<v Speaker 1>d on the coach, fans were already running out onto

<v Speaker 1>the field, and we're tearing down the goalpost. Except that

<v Speaker 1>you lost and game is now over. Thirty four thirty

<v Speaker 1>LSU finds a way to win. The Bluegrass Miracle is

<v Speaker 1>number five on our list. Number four on our list

<v Speaker 1>of college football finishes has to be the Miracle Michigan

<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety four. Colorado had gone to Michigan and they

<v Speaker 1>were down twenty six to twenty one with just six

<v Speaker 1>seconds left from their own thirty six. Kind of the

<v Speaker 1>same situation where you sat there and you said, they're

<v Speaker 1>at their own thirty six. It's just too far. You

<v Speaker 1>can't get the ball that far. People didn't realize the

<v Speaker 1>kind of arm that Cordell Stewart had. Cordell Stewart launched

<v Speaker 1>a pass that they figured was close to eighty yards

<v Speaker 1>in the air from where he threw it to where

<v Speaker 1>it landed. Pass was tipped up in the air by

<v Speaker 1>a backup receiver Blake Anderson and Michael Westbrook c wide

<v Speaker 1>receiver pulls it down in the end zone to beat

<v Speaker 1>the Michigan Wolverines in the Big House. Colorado twenty seven,

<v Speaker 1>Michigan twenty six. The thing that still stands out to

<v Speaker 1>me when I've watched this replay a number of times,

<v Speaker 1>when you just look at how far Cordell Stewart threw

<v Speaker 1>this ball. I mean, this is Brett fav Randall Cunningham ESQ.

<v Speaker 1>He launches this ball. He had a little bit of time.

<v Speaker 1>He rolls out a little bit and gets his feet

<v Speaker 1>good and set and winds up for this thing. But

<v Speaker 1>he threw that ball a long, long waist. Number three

<v Speaker 1>on our list of college football finishes has to be

<v Speaker 1>the Hail Fluti. Nineteen eighty four, Boston College goes to

<v Speaker 1>Miami to face the defending champion Miami Hurricanes. Again. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know what it is about six seconds left, but

<v Speaker 1>there were six seconds left in this game as well.

<v Speaker 1>Miami is up forty five to forty. You know, great game,

<v Speaker 1>back and forth game. Both teams were putting up points,

<v Speaker 1>very very entertaining game. Ball is at the Miami forty eight,

<v Speaker 1>Doug Fluty chucks to pass down to the end zone,

<v Speaker 1>and somehow it was kind of weird because it like

<v Speaker 1>went right through everybody's hands and landed in Gerard Felon's

<v Speaker 1>hands at the back of the end zone. Just kind

<v Speaker 1>of went through everybody. It kind of got behind everybody.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it surprised him they threw it

<v Speaker 1>that far, or if they just weren't ready for it,

<v Speaker 1>or what situation was, but it kind of gets through

<v Speaker 1>the wide receiver. Boston College wins forty seven to forty

<v Speaker 1>and Flutey went on that same year in eighty four

<v Speaker 1>to two win the Heisman. I don't even know if

<v Speaker 1>he deserved it, but he won it because primarily because

<v Speaker 1>of that clip of him throwing the Hail Mary and

<v Speaker 1>winning the on the on the last play of the game.

<v Speaker 1>Number two. And when I say this play, you're gonna say,

<v Speaker 1>how is this not number one? This has to be

<v Speaker 1>number one. I'm gonna tell you why it's not number one.

<v Speaker 1>Number two on our list is the play Stanford versus

<v Speaker 1>Cal nineteen eighty two. Why is it not number one?

<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you why it's not number one, Because it's

<v Speaker 1>an illegal play. If you go back and watch it,

<v Speaker 1>you'll see it for yourself. John Elway had actually led

<v Speaker 1>Stanford to take the lead twenty to nineteen. There were

<v Speaker 1>four seconds left on the kickoff. Col laterals five times

<v Speaker 1>except for that one of them may have been a

<v Speaker 1>forward lateral and the other one the kid has tackled

<v Speaker 1>and on the ground. I think the refs kind of

<v Speaker 1>just got caught up in the play even though he

<v Speaker 1>was down and kind of threw it from his knees.

<v Speaker 1>They just kind of looked to play continue. Of course,

<v Speaker 1>this one is memorable because the Stanford band was celebrating

<v Speaker 1>and coming out on the field, and the last pitch

<v Speaker 1>and lateral and the kid that ran into the end

<v Speaker 1>zone actually had to run through the Stanford band to

<v Speaker 1>get into the end zone. Cal ran it back and

<v Speaker 1>smashed into a trombone player in the process. The play

<v Speaker 1>comes in at number two on our list, number one

<v Speaker 1>on it, well, what could number one be? It's pretty recent.

<v Speaker 1>Number one on our list top five college football finishes

<v Speaker 1>has to be kick six twenty thirteen, Auburn versus Alabama.

<v Speaker 1>So much on the line for both of these teams,

<v Speaker 1>Plus it's kind of funny to you laugh at Nick Saban.

<v Speaker 1>Nick Saban tried to have his kicker kick a fifty

<v Speaker 1>seven yard field goal with a score tied at twenty eight.

<v Speaker 1>The funny thing about it was his kickers had been

<v Speaker 1>horrible all day. They had no shot at making this

<v Speaker 1>field goal. No idea what Nick Saban was thinking, but

<v Speaker 1>he was like, Hey, we're gonna have him boot this

<v Speaker 1>thing from sixty yards piece of cake. Auburn put their cornerback,

<v Speaker 1>Chris Davis back, just in case the ball fell short.

<v Speaker 1>The ball wasn't that short. It hit Chris Davis right

<v Speaker 1>at the back of the end zone and he brings

<v Speaker 1>it out and he starts running and he kind of

<v Speaker 1>finds some space and he heads down the sideline. The

<v Speaker 1>problem was that Alabama hadn't put in any kind of speed.

<v Speaker 1>They had put in, you know, their big guys, their

<v Speaker 1>their big package, you know, to block for the kick,

<v Speaker 1>and their big guys couldn't get over and catch Chris Davis.

<v Speaker 1>Chris Davis returns it from the back of the end

<v Speaker 1>zone like one hundred and nine, one hundred and ten

<v Speaker 1>yards all the way down the sideline for the touchdown

<v Speaker 1>to end the game. Final score Auburn thirty four Alabama

<v Speaker 1>twenty eight. There is our list, our Daily Dose top
