Greatness: A sports collaborative timeline

[Looper]

I have a college football recap for you all:

This season is a return to tradition for the game, as old powers return to the foreground and some recent surprises fall back. Florida State, Auburn, and Ohio State are the story of the season, with the latter actually leading the NCAA in scoring offense. Illinois remains a top squad, but not quite as lethal as they were last season. Miami would roll this season, and Alabama would see a promising upturn, winning 8 games. Baylor, the team who was rolled by Illinois in the National Championship last year, fell hard, winning only four games. In the end, Ohio State and Florida State would be the teams in the National Championship, leading to controversy, as FSU narrowly beat Florida in the last week of the season, 17-16, and Auburn won the Iron Bowl by a score of 34-3. Miami lost in the last week to Georgia Tech. However, it was determined Florida State would be the team to meet the Buckeyes, not Auburn. This leads to public outrage and cries for a playoff system.

January 1, 1995: The Senators and the Maple Leafs battle it out in the SkyDome. The Leafs would easily run away with it, as they led 4-0 in the first period. Toronto would win 9-2 and Ottawa continues to suck.

January 8, 1995: The 1994 National Championship goes down between Ohio State and Florida State, and it is a massacre. Eddie George runs for three touchdowns, and Bobby Hoying hurls two more to Joey Galloway. Mike Vrabel also ran back a fumble to score a Touchdown. In the end, OSU rolls, 45-9. This brings more begging for a College Football Playoff.
