In one of the best BCS Championship games of all-time (rivaling USC-Texas in 2006), #1 Florida State won its third championship in school history, rallying from an 18-point first half deficit to defeat #2 Auburn 34-31 in the BCS Championship Game in Pasadena, California.
After an amazing start fueled by Auburn's defensive backs shutting down Florida State's wide receivers and Jameis Winston struggling mightily to even complete passes, the Tigers jumped out to a 21-3 following a Winston fumble in his own territory and a subsequent touchdown run from Nick Marshall.
But a gutsy call by FSU head coach Jimbo Fisher on a 4th and 4 at their own 40-yard line for a fake funt kept the drive alive, eventually resulting in a Devonta Freeman touchdown that cut it to 21-10 at halftime.
In the second half, FSU's defense dominated, holding Auburn to a field goal before one of the greatest finishes in BCS history occurred.
So goodbye BCS, it's been fun arguing about you. A crazy finish in your final game only seemed fitting.
