I didn't say we were an auto-win. We do our part!

For example, the Stoernover in '98 so Tennessee can win it all. If Stoerner hadn't fumbled while kneeling to run out the clock, then Arkansas would have beat #1 Tennessee in Knoxville and ended the Vols hope of winning the first BCS title.

Your welcome!

Actually, there was a bad call prior to that play. A possession earlier, the Arkansas punter (Akin) kicked a bad snap backwards through the endzone behind him for a safety. At that time, the proper call would have been to give UT the ball at the spot that it was kicked...so, instead of being down 22-24...UT would have been down 24-20 with the ball on the Arkansas 20 yard line (with just under 3 minutes in regulation). If the punter was in the endzone when he kicked it, it would have been a touchback. Because he was in the field of play, it was supposed to be a loss of down penalty.

A bad call is what led to the Stoerner fumble even being relevant.
