The toughest bad beat ever ..Tenn vs unc, or the PSU pick 6?

The toughest bad beat ever ..Tenn vs unc, or the PSU pick 6? Both were horrible bad beats... btw, the Big 10 sucks! scoreboard...Jan 1, 2011

TN was much worse. Pick 6s happen. 40 yard passes landing out of bounds but called in, followed by the refs putting 1 second back on the clock even though the team had 18 people on the field, followed by starting over time at the 12 yard line does not happen EVER (except once)

Tenn/NC without a doubt. PSU was just one play and the pick 6 there happens occasionally (OU just last night). Look at what had to happen in UNC to win. 1. Tenn misses XP. 2. Cant run clock out with 1st down. 3. Have to go 60 yds to get FG in less than 1 min. No TO's. 4. Late penalty 15 yds. 5. Time expired. No wait put 2 secs back on. 6. 5 yd penalty no run off for 20 guys on field. 7. Make long FG. 8. Win in OT.

game over I can still see the referee in the tenn-nc game making an announcement with the scoreboard reading 00:00 and tenn leading, that the game was over. how could you loose? it happened!

There was legitimately 2 seconds on the clock. I lost on Oregon St.-UCLA when the officials put 1 second back on the clock as supposedly UCLA ran a drop off pass where the running back caught the ball and made a defender miss and then got out of bounds in only 3 seconds. They put 1 back on and Kai Forbath knocks it down and UCLA wins in regulation instead of going to overtime... Another key fact is there was a personal foul that could have been called on Tennessee in the final drive which may have put North Carolina in a position to win it. Sports betting is so freaking random. I love it and more so in any other endeavor I have ever done, you can make so many right plays and get the wrong results...

Good points John. I wasn't saying the 2 seconds didn't deserve to be put back on but as others have also stated it is hard to have a ref tell you the game is over (and in the NFL it would have been) and then put 2 seconds back. As far as the personal foul read Burgers accurate post regarding this. If you watch carefully you can see that the player was CLEARLY blocked in the back onto the other player. The announcers kept going on and on but they just missed it. And Go Ducks!!

Don't worry, I'm on Auburn which means OR should cover by some bizarre fluke in the last 2-3 seconds.

"Game Over" is worse but neither of these are top ten bad beats. You guys are overreacting. And yes, I've lost a 'game over' bet before.

I'm not sure they even crack the top 10 IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL this year...wasnt there a mlb game where a team gave up 9 runs in the 9th inning to cost both side and total? also a shitty qb throwing outs has a better chance of a pick 6 than of mayo hitting a fallaway 22 footer followed by a running 3 ptr from 55 feet at buzzer to F the under in memphis wed nite.... that was 10x worse than psu

Losing TN was certainly in the top 10 ever for me. The odds of: Missing an extra point, not being able to run out 90 seconds, getting a 40 yard catch reviewed that was clearly out of bounds called a catch, followed by a 15 yard foul for hitting the receiver, followed by the 1 second put back on the clock with 27 guys on the field, followed by overtime starting at the 12 yard line, followed by a pick... Has gotta be .000001. Might not be worse though than my Cinci over earlier this year. I don't recall the total but it was something like 41-3 at halftime with a total of 45 and no one scored in the 2H.
