All I could think of after the Auburn play happened was Jack Buck's famous line after the Gibson HR, "I don't believe what I just saw".
I honestly believe that this play will go on to that immortal list of great plays that you will never forget about.

If Alabama tries a last second 57-yd field goal, why did Nick Saban not use his "secret-weapon" earlier in the 4th quarter when 4th and 1 (much shorter attempt)?

Also, if you try a 57-yd FG with :01, have someone on your squad with speed to try to run down the fielded kick.

Questionable coaching decisions down the stretch IMO......

An unbelievable season - one for the ages.

BAMA beat BAMA, it's that simple. it should not have come down to a kick.

it didn't come down just to a kick. that was just one of many things that had the game end as it did. bama didn't beat bama, to say so marginalizes all that auburn did-and they played a good game also.

Bama beat Bama. Its actually pretty clear. This about as big a fluke as you will ever see. Now with that said Auburn is VERY GOOD. If this were next year assuming all Ohio St, Florida St and Auburn win next week the 4 way playoff would be those 3 and Bama. And it would be great.

yeah, a fluke play after auburn had tied bama. i guess the 28 points aub scored was all a fluke? them keeping bama to 28, that was a fluke? auburn forced alabama to attempt a fg from that far away...they didn't get closer before the kick, i guess that was a fluke as well?

i thought it was a great game with good play from both sides, and like all evenly matched teams, it comes down to someone making a mistake and the other team being able to cash in on it. but auburn winning was no fluke, and again, you're ignoring auburns great game play that lead to the tied score at the end-and saban figuring what the hell before ot.
i bet he's wishing now they hadn't put one second back on the clock at the end.
