College football's annual bunch of bowls saw a thriller in Pasadena, a retirement party in Tampa, and the controversy neatly removed from the running for the national championship. The Arizona State Sun Devils (11-1) lost a shot at a perfect season and their first national title when Ohio State played spoiler with their Rose Bowl win.

You didn't paint Jewell as an angel, nor did you show the FBI to be a bunch of total ruffians. Most important, your story showed us how easily any person in the U.S. can become enmeshed in a battle with the system.
