Biggest Blowouts of the 2023 Season

[@markwebster4996]

It’s kinda wild how many times FSU, Texas, Washington, Bama found themselves in these nail bitters. Teams with playoff caliber rosters

[@DustinBenton]

to be fair, beating clemson in their own stadium in the last decade is something very few teams can say they have done. but yes I do agree with you.

[@cavanreed5700]

At that level it almost doesn’t matter who you’re playing, anyone could take anyone down. As multiple people at ESPN say “The best teams find a way to win, if a bad team gives them a fight then they have to find a way to win it” and that’s what all those teams did.

[@joshuaridley1676]

Would've been insane if USF had pulled it off against Bama

[@sawyerhinck2471]

Definitely

[@sawyerhinck2471]

I feel like if they would’ve had any type of offense they would have won that game.

[@bradenstewart6270]

It’s amazing how different the college football season as a whole would have been if one of these key games actually was an upset versus a close win

[@Collegefootballproductions]

Yeah it was so disappointing

[@RobMacQ]

Like if, on that last play, Auburn had not only rushed 2. It's like they wanted to give Milroe the best chance possible to make a play. If Auburn wins that game, FSU is in the playoff. Oh well.

19:57 Was at that game live. That was probably the most tense I've been watching a football game until a few weeks later when ESPN showed up to campus

[@wildermurphy946]

[@SurferRC]

[@TimothyC.84]

I won a parlay off the Oregon-TTU game. It was the stuff of legends.

[@yungcash667]

As a Baylor fan that Utah ending still absolutely infuriates me. It probably wouldn't have mattered much for the season we were still ass but it would have changed the perception for the team. Hopefully we can bounce back this year

[@fairylaw7847]

Texas v Oklahoma was the best close game i’ve ever seen… it even felt loud in the room and i was watching it on a phone. So exciting, amazing game.

I still can't believe the Iron Bowl. I had already written Alabama off in that game.

[@TheWrightFather]

No flag on the PI Baylor Utah game is wild..

[@Collegefootballproductions]

There were so many of these I was so annoyed 😂

[@stephenhunter8811]

I will forever laugh at Auburn for that loss in the Iron Bowl. Prevent defense prevents defense. How do you blow 4th & 31? Also, that Michigan-Maryland safety to end it? The ball first hits the ground at the 4.5 yard line, well over ten yards away from any eligible receiver. And he never left the pocket. That’s intentional grounding by rule. In essence, Maryland blew it.

[@arcwiz]

Honestly, had Auburn defended well on that 4th down, both UGA and FSU would've been in the playoffs.

[@Alex-kz1bu]

@@arcwiznot ga. They still wouldn’t make it in. It would be Michigan Washington fsu Texas. Knowing bama beats ga

[@SurferRC]

Its wild that auburn kept fsu out of the playoffs! Payback for 2013 i guess

[@Sanctimoniously]

I remember checking the Bama-USF game and seeing that 10-3 score in the fourth.

[@ausm5569]

The king is back 😌

[@ShantyIrishman]

The USF game pushed Saban into retirement more than the Rose Bowl.

[@user-wf4ou8dn6y]

Washington squeaking past Oregon State in a heavy rain storm was an epic game. Those Beavs were a very good team before their coach announced he was leaving the day before their rivalry game against Oregon.

[@deanpj8542]

I physically hurt every time I think about that Apple Cup game...

[@andrewivester3636]

You missed SC ,the original USC leading Georgia at Sanford Stadium. Shut out the Dawgs in the first half,3 points scored. They finally came alive 47 GAME minutes and barely escape with a win 24-14

[@xeromuramasi]

The graphics from the Oregon Texas Tech game are fantastic

[@rivalstorm7216]

If the game had continued the way it did, I really believe USF would have beaten Alabama with the rain helping

[@SportsGuy99]

[@brandensimmons653]

4th and 31 is the most Auburn thing I've ever seen

[@KevinCruz-pu2ue]

The day of the USF/Bama game I drove to Mississippi (at this time Hard Rock Bet had not flipped the switch in Florida yet) and laid strong money on USF to cover and the under on that game and came away big. Then that night I bought into the Deion hype and put it all on Colorado to cover against Col. State, and it was the last fucking time I trusted Deion Sanders. Luckily I got some of my gains back at the craps table and still went home plus enough for the casino to invite me back with comped nights, food and free play.

[@JuanCarlos-uj4wg]

I remember the Clemson v FSU because the commentators where talking about the kicker family ans they watch him missed it 😂

[@jameshubbardr]

I was a UCF fan at the OU game - the OU fans kept telling us they’d never seen so many opposing fans or ones who were that loud either. Really thought we would do it too.

[@Rand0mContnt]

Yes lol Auburn may not be that good but damn they are a scary team to face

[@Blueian742]

@@Nationof300credit to them for playing Alabama and Georgia and Olemiss close. I know it was in Jordan Hare but that’s just part of it. Crazy they were all top 10 teams. Now let’s see what happens with a year 2 Hugh freeze 🥶

[@ScallywagBeowulf]

Both the Baylor and App State games look like they should have had defensive PI called on the last play of the game.

[@GamecockChris]

On Holy Cross/Boston College, I didn’t know who was about to get almost upset

[@gt90817]

USF was trying to relive their 2007 Cinderella days lol

[@ruferd]

As a Tulane fan, I was expecting more of our wins to be on this list. We were ranked, but we were beating bad teams by less than 5 points a lot of the time or allowing them to make almost come backs (Rice and UNT)

That UA loss to USC was so rough 😭

[@masonmacomber]

I feel like every year app state and North Carolina is a crazy game

[@b0irocket]

That A&M game scared me to death bro 21:46

[@RobMacQ]

This was fun, but Miami did not almost upset FSU and USF did not almost upset Bama. Both games were closer than they should've been though. Also UF/FSU wasn't nearly an upset either, though the Gators did win the 1st half.

[@SethTheCommenter]

As a Bama fan that iron bowl had me shitting bricks for 3 hours 😂

[@kolbe8189]

Clemson was a 1.5 point underdog to FSU because they simply don’t lose at home not much of an almost upset when they own the ACC for a decade

[@Themadpig]

But if you look at the Clemson Vs Florida State History, FSU has the most win against Clemson by 31 win and Clemson has 26 win against each other

[@the.ultimate.nerd_97]

I was at the OU vs UCF game. It was pretty tough to watch and it felt like they didn't have their hearts in it. A failed 2-pt conversion from UCF prevented overtime, so we still won. Boomer Sooner!

[@jakethesnake1245]

@billspostgameproductions So you're that guy who counts NFL preseason games in a team's final record? Almost getting upset isn't a bad thing either. Every team has bad games. The difference is, are they good enough to push through? In our case, yes, they were able to push through 5 times and go 13-0. Not to mention one game with our back up QB and another with our 3rd string QB.

@@scooby-doofan1849 we haven’t been great in the portal, I think we lose to UGA, and that’s it, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and LSU are all road games this year but I think we pull it out. If we lose to another team I would guess Oklahoma. I feel like we can beat UT and LSU. We haven’t been great in the portal, but we have picked up some good Secondary playmakers which were much needed. However, I am biased so i am probably being overconfident.
