In the 2016 - 2017 college football season there were some of the most amazing games and finishes I have ever seen. Here is a list of the best games from the 2016 - 2017 College Football Season

10. Central Michigan vs. Oklahoma State

This early season game was supposed to be an easy win for Oklahoma State. Well that didn't quite happen it was a close game throughout and with 4 seconds left and Oklahoma State on top they decided just to throw it away. This play was called intentional grounding from the refs and the ball was given back to Central Michigan. Central Michigan had only one play left and they may have thrown one of the most surprising hail mary passes I have ever seen. After the game it was revealed the Intentional Grounding call should not have happened, and Oklahoma State should have won the game. But Central Michigan despite the controversy still got the W.

Final Score: Central Michigan 30, Oklahoma State 27
