I would not consider it the best but one of the most unique games was the Jamie Howard pick 6 LSU vs Auburn game.

Auburn won the game on 4 defensive Touchdowns. Don't know if I have ever seen a game like that.

Non-LSU

Boise State vs OU came to mind.

The USC-Texas and OU-Boise games have to be up there and also Miami-Nebraska in the Orange bowl and Notre Dame-Houston (Joe Montana's last college game) in the Cotton bowl were damn good to

I know why you're getting downvoted.

But when you consider the overall history of Cajuns football in suckage, and what this game meant to the program for some exposure as well as it coming down to one final FG attempt to win or lose...that NOLA Bowl has to rank way up there for any Cajuns fan that they've watched, which is the OP's question.

Texas usc is the goat.

I remember some awesome Florida/fsu games also. the best was the ‘97 game at the swamp when jacquez green caught that long pass to setup the game winning touchdown. Then there was the 03 game IIRC when Chris rix was qb and gators were on the wrong end of shittty officiating.

Iowa 6 - Penn State 4. 2004. PSU’s scores came on a sack for a safety on Iowa’s first drive of the game, then with about 5 minutes left, Iowa’s punter let the ball go over his head and out the end zone to prevent a block or a return.

10 total first downs between both teams, and 93 combined rushing yards.

Best game I've seen in person was Bama vs LSU 2019, beautiful weather, and it ended up being closer than it seemed it was going to be

Second best one I've seen in person has to be A&M vs UF, just wish we could've had a full stadium it would have been even better.

Personally, best game I've seen was Wisconsin upsetting No. 1 Ohio State in 2010. Camp Randall is a rowdy place, but it has never been as loud as David Gilreath's opening kickoff return TD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cyNl3C8YQk

Outside of Wisconsin, I have a strong draw to Boston College. My dad, mom and sister all went there. Not old enough to remember 1993 BC/ND, etc., but Matt Ryan and No. 2 BC beating No. 8 Va Tech on a Thursday night downpour was memorable. Hell of a finish.

The Camback was a better overall game.

There was the Bo over the Top and Punt Bama Punt also.

I think the UGA AU game earlier that year was better as well.
