The College Football regular season came to a close on Saturday and, holy shit, was it a wild one. Let’s take a look at some of the best moments from the day.
The Dab was alive and well on Saturday from players to coaches and Frank Beamer (!) got in on the action.

Not to be outdone, LSU’s Les Miles wanted some of the Dab:
How did Les Miles celebrate tonight's win? #DAB.

Not only did Miles celebrate with the Dab, he secured his job. All of the Chip Kelly rumors to LSU can be put to bed now as the LSU athletic director announced that Miles would remain head coach of the Tigers going forward and the decision was made in the third quarter of the LSU game yesterday.

Back to on the field action, Stanford, in stunning fashion, ended the playoff hopes of Notre Dame, so Fighting Irish haters, let’s all rejoice.
The Irish ones of Fighting thought that they had the game won with this touchdown late in the fourth quarter.

The play ended up going to review, where the refs ruled that it was a touchdown. Ironically enough, if the refs ruled correctly, the Fighting Irish would’ve kept the ball and could’ve eaten more time off the clock, instead this happened.

And the rest was history.
Ohio State, fresh off the Mirror Lake tragedy that occurred earlier in the week, pounded Michigan in rivalry week.

But perhaps the play of the day belongs to Michigan State’s Assron Burbidge:

While Florida State made easy work of the Florida Gators, 27-2, let’s not forget that off the field, FSU and the Tallahassee police are doing all that they can do protect their football players from sexual abuse victims.

It was an incredible weekend and it looks like we’re heading towards an epic conclusion to the 2015-16 college football season.
