What's the best college football game you have ever seen? I'm not talking about a game that was boring and had a great ending, but a game that was just amazing from start to finish.

Two of mine:

2007 Fiesta Bowl
Boise jumped out to an early lead and you started to believe. Oklahoma comes back with AD. Hook and Lateral and the freaking Statue of Liberty to end it!!

2011 Game of the Century
I know a lot of people don't like defensive games, but this game was awesome. Felt like any play could break out and change the game and neither defense blinked.

Curious to hear what others think about some of the best games ever played.

I have a top 3 that’s gonna be pretty tough to beat:

1. Texas-USC, 2005 National Championship
2. Georgia-Oklahoma, Rose Bowl, 2017 Playoff Semifinals
3. Georgia-Alabama, 2012 SEC Championship, or Georgia-Alabama, 2017 National Championship, or Texas-Michigan, 2005 Rose Bowl

Eta: thought we were talking about in person.


On TV, the first 3 I thought of:
Boise St - Oklahoma
Bush Push (USC-ND)
App St-Michigan

Those two are it for me too. That Bama-LSU was a pressure cooker, best game.

Flutie Hail Mary game against Miami gets an honorable from me.

2007 LSU vs Virginia Tech was one of the most enjoyable games I’ve ever attended from start to finish. I know it doesn’t check any of the boxes of the others mentioned, but if you were there, you know what I mean.

Otherwise, yeah, all the others that are being mentioned.

WSU was up 49-17 with under 5 left in the 3rd and UCLA was facing a 4th and 6.

WSU ended up scoring two more TDs and still lost.
UCLA score 50 points in 19 minutes to end the game.
Also, the WSU QB threw 9 TDs in a losing effort.

Not sure about TV wise, but I think my favorite I attended was the UK-SC game where Jojo Kemp just kept taking snap after snap out of the Wildcats and singlehandedly ran us down the entire field on Carolina to score the game winner. Just snap after snap...a complete force of will. I've seen a lot of special games at Commonwealth but that one definitely stands out.

1984 Georgia Clemson in Athens

Dogs won it 26-23. Clemson came in ranked #1. Kevin Butler kicked a 61 yard field goal to win it right at the end. Hardest hitting game I've ever seen to this day. Looking back on it, I don't see how Georgia scored 6 points, much less 26. I don't think the ticker could take it today. lol

Miami vs Ohio State for the title with the pass interference call is up there.

Boise vs OU is up there

And of course the Jacob Hester vs UF game.

Texas beats USC******
Harvard and Yale tie 29-29 1968
Boise beats Oklahoma
ND beats Houston...Montana the hero

******Still mad, Young threw a TD pass with his knee on the ground.

Only time Reggie Bush wasn;t the fastest cat in the game that was Longhorn RB Jamaal Charles.
