The BCS gets it right every time there are exactly two undefeated major conference teams. And that's it.

You're 100% correct. But pre-BCS this game doesn't happen. The bottom line is nothing short of a playoff will "work" everytime. But between BCS and the old system, I take the former.

Thanksgiving Day, 1971

#1 Nebraska 35
#2 Oklahoma 31

I think ESPN Classic gave this game the top spot, which is where I first saw the game.

Btw, we were robbed.

I don't know what the line was in the OSU game, but I think the money line was pretty rediculous for a championship, something like +400 for OSU.

Miami -13

Ohio State vs Miami a few years back was a good game too.

terrible game

I believe in justice and this game was/is the biggest hosejob in sports ever. Outright cheating
It forever cheapened the national title, college football, and sports

No doubt---BEST GAME EVER

Those that have not seen it, should make it a point to do so.

the Nebraska- Miami 2-point play was good too

Top 100? too big of a support network for tOSU

Hail Flutie!

I think this game rates right up with the best of my time, just because the teams were both so dominant. I'd say the '87 Penn State vs Miami was right there as well as most of the other games mentioned.

From a personall standpoint, the '97 Rose where ASU makes a comeback only to blow it in the last minute ranks as the best game I've ever seen live. Well, maybe ASU's 19-0 beating of Nebraska earlier that year.

The PSU Miami 87 Fiesta bowl remains the most watched, highest rated college football game ever. Perhaps a lot of people here are too young to remember it?
