I think it's more because the Game of the Century ended up being inconsequential. Oklahoma State-Iowa State, in large part because of the pollsters, ended up being the decisive game of the season.
-60th birthday, would shatter his own record for oldest major winner (for reference, Watson was 59 when he came oh so close in 2009)
-completing his own career Grand Slam

For those two reasons alone, it'd have to be at the top. Especially if Connor Cink happened to be the one going blow-for-blow with him.
Rory “Tom Watson” McIlroy
Justin “Stewart Cink” Rose
Justin Rose will be the most hated major winner since Stewart Cink if he pulls this off.
Honestly I would’ve waited until after the ECF to do the tribute montage.

Hopefully we get the Celtics-Cavs matchup so they can end their coverage on a grand note.
Dereck Lively II. Grabbed many crucial offensive boards in the first 2 games of the WCF. Was rooting hard for the Wolves as a neutral.
Ponchatoula had the legendary 2021-22 senior class that saw 8 players go on to play D-I football.
As is fitting for this tournament, SJ was probably the top 2 seed that most neutral fans wanted to make a deep run.
Not to mention they knocked out the token high-seeded feel-good story of the season in St. John's.

Kansas State football under Bill Snyder. Especially 1997-2003 when they had 6 11-win seasons in that span. 1998 KSU has a strong argument for being the best single-season team any CFB program had from 1996-2000.
In a non-COVID timeline, Brea is still in a Flyer uniform.
Duke. Blue bloods always find a way.
On another note: are there examples of single plays that have kept players out of the HOF?

Some possible examples:
-Jim Marshall’s wrong way run
-Jackie Smith’s drop (he got in in 1994, but he probably gets in way earlier otherwise)
-Roger Craig’s fumble
-Gary Anderson’s missed kick
LIII was bad enough, but the bait & switch they pulled with SpongeBob made it unforgivable.
This was the moment his aura disappeared.
Whether it's a season long-anticipated clash of the titans (like 1971 Nebraska-Oklahoma) or a generational upset that got the eventual champion into title position (like the 2007 Backyard Brawl), list some of your favorites you've seen.

2019 LSU-Alabama is up there for me. Once we got the Bama monkey off our backs, I knew we were winning it all.

I'm pretty sure the core players on the Bills & Ravens feel the same way.
IMO the moment the Chiefs became Patriots-level hated was when the Damar Hamlin situation gifted them the 1 seed. Before then, they were simply the team who executed better than everyone else. That was the start of ridiculous out-of-their-control breaks going in their favor.
If anything, the SB being anticlimactic gave those matchups more rockstar status. 2012 SECCG was similar.
