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.

Iowa vs. LSU in the Capitol One Bowl, 2005.
Iowa wasn’t supposed to win but a last second TD nailed it in Hawkeye history.

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!!!!!!!!!!!

No, 1997 was when then #1 FSU came into The Swamp and Florida beat them with a touchdown in the final two minutes.

It has been called by many, “The Greatest Game Ever Played in The Swamp”

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.

They left out the Sugar Bowl of ‘Bama v. Penn State where ‘Bama stuffed Matt Suhey (sp?) at the goal line.

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