Being a Buckeye fan I'm partial to that game too. But for sheer entertainment purposes, I really liked the BSU/Oklahoma game. The LSU/Oklahoma game in 2004 (Sugar Bowl?) was a good one too.

Texas/USC without a doubt. Another honorable mention is the 2005 Sugar Bowl. UGA/WVU. UGA was down 28-0 and came back to make it an exciting finish. Unfortunately we lost 38-35 on a fake punt.

06 Rose Bowl. Vince Young vs USC. And ESPN declaring that USC team the best of all time adds to it.
First the federal government borrowed money; then gave the money to Bank of America; then I borrowed some of that money from Bank of America and gave it to the federal government; then the federal government gave the money back to Bank of America.

I forgot about that one, and I have to confess I was watching something else and wound up only seeing highlights, but that was indeed an exciting game.

Yeah I was watching it on ESPN Classic yesterday as well which made me make this topic.
This is my list in order:
1) Texas/USC- Best game I have ever seen. Vince Young was unbelievable. Wish it would have went into a few overtimes because I didn't want that game to end. In fact, every BCS bowl game this year was crazy. There was a crazy Orange Bowl I remember between Penn State and someone else.
2) Ohio State/Miami- I still remember watching this game 4 years later. I remember how gruesome Willis McGahee's knee looked when he injured himself. This was a huge upset. Just look at how many NFL players Miami had on that team. Miami should have won though. Crappy pass interference call late in the game ruined it.
3) Boise State/Oklahoma- Noone gave Boise State a chance. Boise State lead into the 4th quarter and Oklahoma made that amazing comeback. I thought it was over when Zabransky threw the interception. Those 3 trick plays by Boise State were unbelievable.

You could also make a case for that Rose Bowl a few years ago with Michigan and Texas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Rose_Bowl

2006 rose bowl was the best game overall. it was a great game from the beginning to the end. but 2007 fiesta bowl had the best trick play calls ever. it was just plain sick.
