Has there been a wilder ride than the 2007 college football season? Every week there’s an upset or a thrilling finish and whether pundits like it or not, parity has made college football exciting.
This week’s upset special was Arkansas’ thrilling 50-48 triple overtime victory over LSU. It took another frenzied last minute comeback for the Tigers to even reach overtime, but once there their usually stingy defense failed them. The Razorbacks scored touchdowns on all three of their overtime possessions and even converted a fourth and 10 that if failed, would have given LSU the victory.
How much bigger does Saturday’s Kansas-Missouri game get with LSU losing? How about #3 West Virginia vs. #20 Connecticut? Ohio State just got new life as well and now they have to root for a UCONN upset of WV. Amazing how the Buckeyes could sneak back into the national title picture a mere two weeks after losing to Illinois at home.
What a season.
