The list is okay. The first game that stands out to me though is the '66 ND Michigan St. game. It's a terrible game and it was universally hated when the final whistle blew.
Kind of shocked that Houston ND is 30. Figured it would be top 10. Still say it's the most overrated performance ever though. If Houston could snap a punt they win easy.
Both coaches played for the tie (which is fine) and neither fanbase/team wanted to admit it. They've spent the 50 years since claiming that the other team wasn't trying to win.
I watched the replay of that. He was saying something like how bowl games are glorified exhibitions. Brought up some bs quote from Bear Bryant to justify it. All of this is in the 4th quarter after we had run them out of the building, and he had been hyping Miami needing to win for a shot at/piece of the NC during first half.
That 2001 FL game was the best game for me. 1990 FL was the most fun. 1985 Auburn fully indoctrinated me. the 2001 SEC champ loss was most disappointing loss...followed by our collapse at FL in 95.
Clemson beating Nebraska 22-15 in the Orange Bowl to win their first National Championship is better than some of those games listed.
I was born in '86 but have wasted Many days and hours being immersed in this stuff. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, the '85 Sugar Bowl and '78 Orange Bowl stand as the epitome of the underdog dominating great football teams.
What year was the multiple OT game against bammer with Clausen at QB? That was one of my favorites because I had a hair bet with a coworker who went to the game. His telling the story of he and the fans around him sobering up to start feeling the effects of a hangover right around the time Tennessee converted a 3rd or 4th and long to keep the game alive and their subsequent misery that followed are the kind of memories that help me through college football these days.
2003. It was the worst Alabama team since the early 50s and it took 4 miracles and 5 OTs to beat them.
