I had no dog in this hunt. It had everything --- a cinderella story, a comeback, last minute heroics, trick plays, and a marriage proposal. That is as good as it gets.

Except it wasn't for the national championship, which is why I would still rate last year's Rose Bowl as the best game of all time, particularly since Texas beat the media-anointed "best college football team ever".

No marriage proposal, but we did get to see Matt Leinart act like a whiny little girl in the post-game.

I remember Leinart's crybaby antics. No class whatsoever.

If you see it as the greatest game of all time, that's fine. Your team won, so it has special meaning to you. Because I'm a Dodger fan, I could say that the Kirk Gibson pinch hit homerun against Oakland was the greatest game of all time. That is because my team won. But it wasn't the greatest game of all time.

In this case, I saw this game as an outsider, not a partisan fan. For me as a fan without a favorite team in the game, it was the greatest.
