The 1916 Cumberland vs. Georgia Tech football game was the most lopsided in the history of college football, with Georgia Tech winning 222–0

The 1988 was a crushing season for me. THE U lost at Notre Dame when The U went for 2 instead of a tie. That team proceeded to go undefeated crushing teams that would win their conference. They deserved a rematch. The Domers got to play a way overrated WVU for the championship. WVU went undefeated thanks to a cupcake schedule.

I watch the Hail Flutie game from start to finish. Both teams left everything on the field. I remember Miami RB Melvin Bratton steamrolled over the BC defense and scored several TDs on the dive play.

A very wild game with an amazing finish was Colorado @ Michigan. Colorado at that time was loaded with NFL talent including QB Kordell Stewart and WR Michael Westbrook. Stewart won the game on a Hail Mary from long distance.

There was the #1 v. #2 The Game in 2006. That game lived up to the hype. There was talk both teams should play again for the title but Florida got the shot and punched THE Ohio State University in the mouth.

#5 turned me off college football for decades.

Came back rooting for WVU when I moved here in ‘02.....then came Luck and Holgorsen....gave me my Saturday afternoons back.

2008 Texas Tech defeats #1 Texas with Crabtree TD.

Tennessee 14...LSU 13...1959

LSU, undefeated, with All American, Billy Cannon at running back...LSU recovered a fumble at the Tennessee 2 yard line...It took them to 4th down to score...

They pitched the ball to Cannon on a sweep going for 2 point conversion and win, but Cannon got stuffed at the one yard line.....

GREAT GAME!!!!!!!!!!!

They don’t like Alabama. Three Bama losses in their top ten. No wins. 2015-2016 Bama Clemson just as good with that onside kick. FU SI.

[dfwgator]

It’s hard to top “Kick Six”.

Auburn winning on a 109 field goal return was pretty damn good.

[LS]

I remember that OU/NE game in 71. Rogers’s punt return was the game. Neither could stop the other.

[G Larry]

Wize mi skool on the loozing side of the best game?

[Luke21]

And now that I think about it, an overtime national championship game win over Georgia with a backup qb on 2nd and 26 doesn’t qualify, just because Bama won. Go to hell, twice, Scooby.

December 2, 1893 Annapolis, MD Navy over Army 6–4

December 1, 1900 Philadelphia, PA Navy over Army 11–7

I’d keep going but the truth is that there are a huge number in this series that were close and classic nail biters where the championship was on the line for one or both of them...and it was the last game of the year for everyone.

The ‘63 game was particularly significant after JFK’s assassination and featured Staubach leading Navy over Army in a down to the last drive game.

Lazy journalist. 150 years of college football and ALL 10 “greatest games” are in the last 53 years? The odds of that are roughly 3 to the 10th power or 1 in about 50,000. Where are the 100-year old games?

[yarddog]

I can’t remember the year but it was in the 60’s. Alabama vs Ole Miss. Archie Manning against Scott Hunter. Howard Cosell said that it was the greatest game ever.

[numberonepal]

Why Bama gotta be in there three times with losses?
