[@ClarkeMarek]

LSU won that is.

[@davidmatthewvinotjr8396]

Tennessee had 13 players officially on the field. Thanks to Les Miles being too quick in setup, They pressured Jordan Jefferson into a bad snap, ball gets away, Jefferson fails to Score, Tigers lose, until we find out that Derek Dooley sucks at math class, as he can’t count to 11, so LSU gets a untimed down, this time the Tigers get the ball in for the winning score. About 10 months earlier, Miles orderd Jefferson to spike the ball with 1 second left in Field Goal range in Oxford against Mississippi, and NOT send in his field goal crew.

The Miami-Georgia Tech ending is, by far, the most egregious. ESPN gave Miami a 99.9% chance to win before the fumble, but I truly think it should be 100%. Those calculations are meant to be based on logic. _There is no logic to what Cristobal did._

Unpleasant memory but my alma mater OU in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl against Boise State. OU tied the score 28-28 with just over a minute left. Kickoff to BSU and on the first play their QB throws a pick six to OU. Somebody should have told the defense, "You get an interception or a fumble recovery and are clear to the end zone, go down inside the 5 yard line." A couple of kneel downs and OU kicks the winning field goal.

[@Alexandersportsvideos]

LSU has a long history of screw ups at the end of the game. I remember an LSU vs Ole Miss game in the early 2000's where they were right at the goal line with time running down and the quarterback spiked the ball. It was 4th down. Ole Miss won.

[@Jo-oc-0]

Half of these are player error not coaching mistakes.

[@brodyh2895]

The Wake/BC play and plays like it always make me a little upset. It happens all the time where the defense will just lay on the ground or cover the ball and the offense can't do anything. I guess it's part of the game, but it sucks being on the other side of it.

[@danthemankhan]

You know a great way to avoid this is to score more points early in the game and be up by 14 at that point.

[@jeffersonlee-i2z]

I was glad that the Miami-GT game made the series. The LSU-Tennessee game was a classic ending. The rest of the Nebraska-Northwestern game should have been shown, Nebraska did everything imaginable to lose that game. LSU once again made the highlights at the end of the Clemson game. Minnesota choked in the end, but got screwed on the non-touchdown call because the receiver clearly broke the plane. Noone deserved to win the Wake Forest fiasco. The Michigan-Michigan State game should have made it here with the muff punt at the end and MSU ran it in for a TD with no time left.

[@jasoncarlo4887]

[@chasitywood1740]

The running the ball when you could have kneeled it to win was brutal for those kids for Miami that played their asses off. But then, before Georgia Tech’s final play, you choose not to call a timeout. They(MIA) had two Timeouts left, call a timeout bring the boys over let them get some air in their lungs and some hydration, while they’re resting you make it clear that you are dropping 5 DBs back deep and nothing should get behind any of them . Instead you let Tech control the situation they run 4-5 consecutive plays through the hurry, tire your defense down and then beat you deep with a very simple post patten. If I’m the athletic director for the U of M I would have found a new head coach before that coach even got back to the locker room. The WORST coached consecutive football possessions I have ever seen, and it’s NOT. EVEN. CLOSE!

[@hdsn20]

That first play has a second on the clock when the ball hits the ground, assuming the clock on screen is synced with the field clock. At the least it's very close

[@stephenstaedtler6902]

Virginia Tech/Liberty when VTech blocked a 59 yard FG and returned it for winning touchdown, only to have called time out before the play. Liberty comes back, runs a play on 4th down for 8 yards where VT defensive backs gave way too much cushion. Liberty then hits 51 yard FG to win. Should have been in here.

[@Black_Caucus]

1:02 LOL every Miami fan in the right of the screen with their hands on their head doing the 'Surrender Cobra' - someone even throws stuff onto the field. To be fair, they've had 2 decades of experience doing so, though. THAT was one of the worst coaching mistakes of all time by Mario Cristobal. It was truly one of the dumbest things I have ever seen live on TV. It made no logical sense, and it was completely unnecessary on multiple levels, both sportsmanship but also logically if your goal is to win the game. LMAO. It actually made me feel bad for Miami fans... 1:53 To be fair to Clemson (my team) this play was 100% on Andy Teasdall, the punter, who I will say was an amazing punter during his time there. He had a brain-fart this play, or he wanted to try and get the first down by himself to be a sort of hero or legend. This definitely wasn't a coaching mistake, even Dabo is freaking out there like 'MAN WHAT DID YOU DO?' - thank god that this play didn't change the game and Clemson still won. I think Dabo woulda' killed him, lol. 12:10 The pop pass there honestly was NOT a bad call. The receiver looked back at the QB and then continued his route, he would probably have been *somewhat* pen if the QB waited another second or two. I liked the call there, though. Just bad execution.
