Is running an article now on the greatest games ever...1-10.

Here's what they said about 1971:

3. Nebraska 35 ... Oklahoma 31, November 25, 1971

For months, the hype for this game was more than simply fodder for sports fans. It became a national event, and the game itself more than lived up to the hype. By many opinions, this remains the Game of the Century and a favorite in the hearts of many old-time fans. It was No. 1 Nebraska traveling to face No. 2 Oklahoma with the defending national champion Huskers coming in on a 29-game winning streak on Thanksgiving day and all the sports world watching. 55 million homes were tuned in. With 7:05 to play and 74-yards away with 7:05 left to play, the Huskers marched to the end zone highlighted by a big third down catch and run from eventual Heisman Trophy winner, Johnny Rogers. Bruising running back Jeff Kinney pounded it in for the lead and his fourth touchdown of the day, and then the defense held to preserve the historic victory.

They have '69 Texas-Arkansas as #1...tough call..... :confucius

 
Truly a lot of great games, but I am thinking the Texas/SC game should be very close to the top. Back and forth, tremendous plays on both sides of the ball. A truly remarkable display by Vince Young. I know I really enjoyed the game. I saw the Game of the Century too. Either one could get the nod in my book. Of course I would rather Nebraska got the nod, but could understand the opposite.

You just have to love college football.

 
The list was of the best regular season games of all time. If not, that game last year would have been on the list. It definately was one of the best games I ever saw. One game tat wasn't on the list though was the Huskers/Mizzou game in 97. I know it wasn't a top 5 matchup or anything, but man, that was an awesome game. I have seen it a million times. ESPN Classic seems to love it.

 
The UT/USC game was easily the best non-NU game I've ever seen.

:yeah That game was awesome. I remember an OU/A&M game a few years ago that was good as well. That Notre Dame/SC game last year was a great game as well.
