Plenty I can think of off the top of my head.
1 Auburn - kick six
2 Boise St. - Statue of Liberty
3 Cal - “the play” squib TD return vs Stanford
4 Colorado - fifth down
5 LSU - bluegrass miracle
Eta not calling those the most iconic btw, just listed the ones that jumped out at me immediately by alphabetical order

USC is not the Bush Push...its easily OJ's "Run to Daylight"...
USC was #4 UCLA was #1... Last game of the year before the bowls. PAC 8 Title was on the line, Heisman Trophy was on the line as it was between UCLA's Gary Beban and USC's OJ Simpson and the National Title was on the line because whoever won this game was going to win the Rose Bowl and claim it.
Bush-Push didn't win USC the National Championship.
OJ's run did.
"Run to Daylight"

There's not a person on Earth that could argue against this. It's the easiest call of any school.

LSU - will always be Billy Cannon

List definitely has bias to more recent plays. Army won titles and were a powerhouse back in the day, surely there's something more worthy than a 3rd and 1 run to seal the win against Navy even if that did end a losing streak.
Glad they went with Cannon over the Bluegrass Miracle though

Agreed. Hell I’ve always thought that was an overrated play - give me Hodson to Fuller, Flynn to Byrd, Eric Reid INT, 3rd and 17 any day.

#1 for the Canes has to be stopping the 2 point attempt by Nebraska in 1983 to win the first title, not the Ed Reed TD against BC. That deflected 2 point attempt in the Orange Bowl started it all.
As a CU grad I agree with the video, it's Kordell's hail mary against Michigan even though I didn't see it live because I turned off the TV in disgust in the 2nd half when it looked like the Buffs were shitting the bed.
The fifth down is more infamous than iconic and that title has always felt less than amazing because it had more help from the refs than any in history. There was also a questionable clipping call on a long Rocket Ismail punt return for a TD in the last minute in the Orange Bowl after McCartney was stupid enough to punt to him.

Still don't understand that call. The questionable clip was on the other side of the field. Nobody was stopping the Rocket, it had no bearing on the play.
But yeah, Kordell is # 1 for Colorado, like Flutie for Boston College. Kordell's Hail Mary cost Penn State a National Title because it kept Colorado highly falsely ranked which pumped up Nebraska's win over Colorado.

Without watching, OU’s needs to be Roy Williams’ Superman dive vs Texas

That Randy Moss TD is great but Marshall's play has gotta be Leftwich getting carried down the field by his linemen.

As with most big schools there are dozens. The one that popped into my head was Holy Buckeye vs Purdue in 02.
That season is what remade OSU in my mind and they’ve had 20 incredible years since
LINK
OSU was ahead of Bama and had a great shot to win without the Zeke run

No. Not even close. Billy Cannon's Halloween punt return will always be the gold standard.
Hell, I'd put 3rd-and-17 vs Texas over the Bluegrass Miracle.

2015 MSU Michigan botched punt return but I'd also add LJ Scott TD vs Iowa in the B10 title game to do an amazing 2nd effort to take the lead for a TD

I knew it would be Cannon for LSU but I feel like the earthquake game has to be in the discussion.

Wasn’t there a play in 02 when Krenzel caught a pass and took it to the house?
Posted on 7/27/22 at 6:41 am to cardswinagain
Without watching the video, I unfortunately already know what Texas’ most iconic play is.

Of course that limp wrist jump ball pass by Tebow would be Florida's

Which tells me the guy who made that video isn't a UF fan.

Just off the top of my head are all more iconic.
