The 2007 college football season was an exciting and memorable one for fans of the sport. It featured many notable moments and storylines, and it culminated in a thrilling Bowl Championship Series (BCS) National Championship Game. Here are some of the key highlights and events from that season:

Appalachian State Upsets Michigan: In one of the biggest upsets in college football history, the Appalachian State Mountaineers, an FCS (formerly Division I-AA) team, defeated the heavily favored Michigan Wolverines in their season opener. The final score was 34-32.

Tim Tebow Wins the Heisman Trophy: Florida quarterback Tim Tebow became the first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy. He was known for his dual-threat abilities and leadership on the field.

Kansas' Surprise Season: The Kansas Jayhawks, led by head coach Mark Mangino, had an unexpected run to the Orange Bowl, finishing the regular season 11-1 and earning their first BCS bowl appearance.

LSU's National Championship: The LSU Tigers, under head coach Les Miles, won the BCS National Championship. They defeated Ohio State 38-24 in the championship game, held in New Orleans. The victory was LSU's second BCS National Championship in five years.

The "Stanford Band" Play: In a memorable moment during the annual rivalry game between California (Cal) and Stanford, Cal pulled off a miraculous, last-second, game-winning touchdown known as "The Play." The lateral-filled play, which ended with Cal scoring, is still one of the most famous moments in college football history.

Chaos in the BCS: The 2007 season saw considerable controversy and debate surrounding the BCS system. Several teams had arguments for a shot at the national championship, including Missouri and West Virginia, but both lost in their respective conference championship games.

Hawaii's Undefeated Regular Season: The Hawaii Warriors, led by quarterback Colt Brennan, had an undefeated regular season and earned a spot in the Sugar Bowl against Georgia. However, they lost to the Bulldogs in that game.
