Though heartbreaking and hard to watch, the TAM game was meaningless compared to the National Championship game that we were one play away from winning.
We were 7-1 and #3 in the CFP rankings going into that game. Win out from there and we would have been the #2 seed at worst.
Sure, that team ended up collapsing, but that loss knocked us out of the national championship picture for the first time in Gustav's HC career. While not quite as devastating as the BCSCG loss, it was the game that truly ended our run that started in 2013. We've come anywhere near that close just once in the 5+ years since then.

Man, thats a lot of ifs. While the other game, you Were already there. You were in the game. Not trying to get to the game by winning out. You were sitting there, one play from being the Champions of the College football world, twice in a 4 year period. Not trying to make it and run a gauntlet. But sitting there in the dance and about to do something never done before and something everyone said you couldnt.
One stop and its over.
