That said, how does that have anything to do with how amazing the play is?


All those other plays were game winners, and/or big time games against major opponents, or at least featured a great player.

If somebody made an amazing catch on the Green Monster in a spring exhibition nobody would care in a week once the play was off SC's top 10.

Great plays in great moments are always considered bigger. Its harder to make those big plays in pressure situations with all eyes on you. Players make amazing plays in practice goofing off all the time. Nobody outside of Alabama and Hattiesburg saw the Prothro catch live.

OBJs one handed grab last fall against the Cowboys was pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things and is widely considered one of, if not the most impressive catch in NFL history.

That said, this would make the Goal Line Stand one of the greatest plays in college football, and more relevant than the Kick Six (considering that it was #1 vs #2 and the play determined the National Champion - Kick Six would have been just as relevant if AU had beaten FSU, but alas they did not).

However, the Goal Line Stand isn't even on their list. Again, showing the whole thing to be drivel.
