Jordan-Hare Stadium wasn't the only place rocking when No. 4 Auburn stunned on No. 1 Alabama with a game-winning touchdown on the final play of the 2013 Iron Bowl on Saturday night. The celebration aboard the Ohio State football team's bus was perhaps just as raucous -- albeit a bit smaller -- as the one on the Auburn campus.
Thanks to the Auburn Tigers' last-gasp win over the top-ranked Crimson Tide, the No. 3 Buckeyes had plenty of reason to be feeling good on that ride. Earlier on Saturday, Ohio State held off an unexpectedly strong challenge from unranked Michigan to remain undefeated. While the team was traveling back from The Big House in Ann Arbor, Mich. the Tigers knocked off one of the two teams ahead of them in the last BCS standings.
