Among the contenders only USC losing by two can argue they were in a winnable game - and that one was not as close as the score indicates.
Really remarkable when you think about it.
I guess that's why I remarked.
And another good argument for the OSU-Michigan loser should that be a close game. |
A couple of significant comments on this.
First, Notre Dame lost by 26.
Second, Florida was down by 1 until Auburn kicked a FG with 31 seconds left. Then the gave up a defensive TD on a multiple lateral play when they were desperate in the last 20 seconds. So they were in that game right up to the last minute, although it ended up a 10 point game.
