Auburn Tigers – The Field Goal That Changed an Entire Season
The 2013 Iron Bowl can be summed up with one play – Nick Saban needlessly sending Adam Griffith to kick a 57 yard field goal. He missed, Chris Davis catches it, returning it 109 yards for the touchdown and the 35-28 Auburn win, making a huge difference in the SEC, BCS and national championship picture just as time expires. But a game like this is much bigger than just one play or sentence.

Bulls vs Cavs – Dion Waiters & Andrew Bynum Shouldn’t Be This Good
They spoke of Andrew Bynum as someone who is never going to be the same with the damage done to his knees. Dion Waiters was mentioned as someone who wants to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers and hates playing with Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson. It was those two leading the Cavs to a 97-93 win over the clueless, as of now, Chicago Bulls.

Ohio State Buckeyes – Tyvis Powell Saved Their Season
With all of the big names Ohio State had to offer – Urban Meyer on the sidelines, Braxton Miller at quarterback, Carlos Hyde busting through the middle and speedy receiver Devin Smith, it came down to a freshman cornerback, Tyvis Powell, to make what might turn out to be the biggest play of the season for the Buckeyes, intercepting a Devin Gardner pass to deny a 2-point conversion and keep his team undefeated with a 42-41 win.

Florida State Seminoles – The Only Team With Nothing to Worry About
As the dust from rivalry week settles, Florida State remain unscathed, undefeated, and the only team no one has a doubt about when it comes to their place in the national championship game. They’ve added a 37-7 win over Florida with yet another Heisman-worthy performance from Jameis Winston, and are still waiting for the one team to test them, something that hasn’t happened this season.

Duke Blue Devils – It Can’t Get Better Than This, Can It?
It’s hard enough thinking about Duke as a successful football program, making it to the ACC championship game for the first time in school history thanks to a 27-25 win over North Carolina, securing their first ever 10-win season.

College Football – The Last Big BCS Standings Controversy
No matter who ends up in the top two of the BCS standings and goes to the national championship eventually, there’s going to be an uproar. Ohio State barely survived against Michigan, but remain undefeated. However, one-loss Auburn became the team that knocked off the almost wire-to-wire number one Alabama off its perch, while Florida State took care of business against Florida. What are the pollsters and the computers to do?

Steven Gerrard – Liverpool Legend Shouldn’t Care About Alex Ferguson
Yes, there’s no denying that Steven Gerrard will probably retire one day as one of the best player to never win a domestic championship, although Liverpool have been looking a bit closer to achieving that goal this season. But it doesn’t mean that he’s had a pretty much dream career for his boyhood club, and nothing Alex Ferguson writes out of pure spite and venom is going to change that.

Andre Villas Boas – One More Sacking Will End his Premier League Career
The point about the whole Andre Villas-Boas situation isn’t whether or not he deserves to keep his job with Spurs. It’s about his future in the Premier League as a manager after already getting sacked once by Chelsea, there’s a good chance he won’t get another opportunity from a club of this stature for a very long time.

Impossible Misses – From Emanuele Giaccherini to FC Porto
There weren’t too many “big” matches across Europe this weekend, making it a rather dull Saturday for those looking for some prime time football. However, digging deeper reveals the same amount of quality and drama their usually is during a normal Saturday, including some impossible misses right in front of goal, including FC Porto in a comedy of errors during their loss to Academcia and Emanuele Giaccherini adding one for Sunderland in the draw against Aston Villa.

Bayern Munich – Mario Götze Is Just Getting Started
It was Arjen Robben who scored both goals for Bayern Munich in their most recent win, extending their conquering form in the German Bundesliga this season, but Mario Götze is the player that at the moment makes the difference between a hungry and dangerous side to the one we saw in the second half, that’s simply content with winning and moving on to the next helpless victim that gets in their way of European domination.
