A week later, Boise State finished 5 in the AP Poll earning 1 National Champion vote at 13-0. Oklahoma would finish 11. While the status of current players in the NFL isn't as good for both teams as say USC and Texas was I feel I should cover it. Zabransky went undrafted but was signed(and cut) by the Houston Texans, Derek Schouman was drafted by the Bills in the 7th round, Safety Gerald Alexander was drafted in the 2nd round to the Detroit Lions, and Linebacker Korey Hall went in the 6th round to the Green Bay Packers.
For Oklahoma, Paul Thompson was undrafted and is currently on the Titans practice squad, Adrian Peterson was the 7th overall pick to the Minnesota Vikings, and Linebacker Rufus Alexander was drafted in the 6th round also by the Vikings. In 2007, Sam Bradford was starting QB for the Sooners and Taylor Tharp was QB for Boise State. Oklahoma went 10-2 in the regular season, beat 1 Missouri 38-17 in the Big XII Title Game but fell to 9 West Virginia 48-28 in the Fiesta Bowl to finish at 8. Meanwhile, Boise State went 10-2 in the regular season and fell in the Hawaii Bowl to East Carolina 41-38.
Overall, the 2007 Fiesta Bowl will always be remembered for its story, the game itself, the plays, and a marriage that will last a lifetime. That is why it is 2 on the list and was the winner of the 2007 Game of the Year in the ESPYs and Joey Basford Sports Award.
