2007 College Football Season: The Inside Story

SB Nation called up the Ball Coach and pressed record. He talked South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, and you’ll wanna read all of it.

The most memorable team in Rainbow Warriors history wasn’t even its best of the decade, according to its beloved play-by-play man.

This was more than just a legendary upset and an omen of 2007’s mayhem. It was also the story of the modern spread offense. App State’s head coach, an assistant at the time, helps explain.

The national champs lost twice, which is weird. They lost twice in triple overtime, which is even weirder. Stars from Arkansas and Kentucky explain how it happened.

SB Nation caught up with the world’s most famous baseball player, 10 years after his Heisman Trophy season.

No matter how fleeting it was, a barely decade-old program soaring near the peak of college football was the epitome of 2007. Let’s talk to those Bulls.

Alabama’s upset loss was so embarrassing, few of his assistants dare to speak of it. A former QB will tell you how it changed a program, however.

For one bizarre Rivalry Weekend, the Iron Bowl, Florida-Florida State, and Texas-Texas A&M were all on Kansas City’s undercard. The surprisingly huge game’s two QBs reminisce.

Yep, 2007 is No. 1. But not without a challenge.

For two months, the top two spots in the rankings were hot potatoes.

2007 had the two biggest upsets ever, and maybe even three. How many of these do you remember?

Pitt’s Dave Wannstedt, WVU’s Owen Schmitt, and others relive maybe the most brutal (or delightful, depending on your side) rivalry shocker ever.

Imagine being a poll voter and having to sort out this weekly chaos.

Let’s talk to writers who remember their teams being part of the 2007 season’s No. 2 club, one of the oddest families in sports.

Of course the wildest season in college football history would’ve had a tough call at No. 4.
