Which was worse?
Tyler Simmons offsides or 1 to 6 with one loss in a conference championship?

tyler simmons without a shadow of a doubt. When I walked out of lucas oil stadium I remember thinking we could have a losing record the next 5 years and lose to UF/gt in each of 'em and I woulnd't even care. That feeling of winning a natty for the first time in my life was enough to sustain another decade regardless of what happened. Little did I imagine that we'd win the next 15 and go back to back anyway.

Going 13-1 and winning the orange bowl in the most lopsided bowl game of all time and finishing int eh top 5 was a remarkable season, even if it didn't end with a national title.

2017 hurt really bad because it was the first natty we'd even played for in my lifetime, and it felt like the universe just conspired against us with all the absolute horse shite calls that went against us. Not to mention the obvious way in which it ended.
