College Football Top Plays 2015: WATCH the Season's Most Awe-Inspiring Plays

By

As we wait for bowl season to come around, it's about that time to look back at all the best plays from college football's regular season.

This list will not be your traditional Top 10, but rather a summarization of some of the plays that stick out, from spin moves tailor made for endless Vine looping to season-saving flukes to the unbelievable feats of athleticism.

The most significant

Michigan State takes this section all for itself, because the Spartans could've easily lost two more games than they actually did and missed out on the Big Ten Championship all together. Then when they made the conference title game, they needed a little magic to stop Iowa from scoring off a turnover.

Should've never counted

Miami proved all those laterals at the end of the game can actually work, except it shouldn't have worked. The ACC stated after the game that the officials missed a penalty that would've ended the game. It's still pretty cool.

Downright lucky

One of two major upsets Ole Miss suffered this season was to Arkansas, though the Hogs needed a ridiculous lateral on fourth and 25 in overtime just to continue the drive, and eventually convert a two-point conversion for the win.

Ole Miss was also on the other side of a massively lucky play when they visited Tuscaloosa and pulled off an upset against Alabama. A high snap and blind throw into traffic should, for all intents and purposes wind up in a turnover, but it somehow didn't.

TCU was also in danger of suffering an upset at the hands of Texas Tech, and needed a touchdown on fourth and goal to either win or lose. And for a brief moment, it looked like Texas Tech was going to pull it off.

Odell who?

Mike Thomas may not have gotten two feet down on the catch, but neither did Odell Beckham Jr., check the tape.

Then there was this catch from Francis Owusu that somehow one-upped David Tyree's helmet-pinning catch.

Remember that?

Braxton Miller made a play-of-the-year candidate on Ohio State's first game of the season, in addition to some other highlight-worthy plays. Oh, and it was his first game ever as an H-back.

In week three, Leonard Fournette came as close to locking up the Heisman Trophy as one can through three weeks, because he looked like a grown man playing football against boys.
