College football kicks off tomorrow, but this season is already off to a wild start. Terrelle Pryor was exiled, Miami is on life support, and that's just the beginning. Yes, college football is in a weird place right now, with a number of high-profile programs facing serious off-field issues.
But we don't follow college football to hear about tattoo parlors and Ponzi schemers and compliance officers. We follow it because, on any given Saturday (and occasionally Thursday), you can witness some of the most amazing action in sports. So, as another season starts, we preview the action on the field with a look at the 50 Greatest Plays in College Football History.

The two SEC foes faced off in 2006 with Florida carrying a secret weapon named Jesus Tim Tebow. With the power of Urban Meyer, Jesus Tebow blessed us all with birth of the Tebow Jump pass. A classic from the Tebow glory days. We all miss college. Tebow's really missing college.
