OU v UGa -- Greatest CFB games ever? Maybe #2?
It seems heavyweight matchups are getting more entertaining, year after year. The last two Clemson v Alabama games have been very good.
But this OU v UGa game... wow. Both times had their chances, made boneheaded plays, made great plays. Defenses were shred, but lactually seemed to play well at times. Both teams had huge comebacks.
Texas v USC will, to me, remain the best CFB game ever. Miami v Nebraska (1981?) was, before that, the best I'd seen. Because this was "only" a semifinal, I guess that might ding it a bit, and it probably doesn't have the star power that Texas/USC had. (Plus USC going for immortality of 3 straight champioinships).
So I think this is #2 to me. But it was thoroughly entertaining and it frankly, for purely entertainment value, washed away the nasty taste from the Outback bowl earlier today.

Definitely a top 5 all time game. I found myself thinking at the end how awesome it would be to experience a win like that for Michigan

Exciting game to watch, for sure, what with over 100 points scored, but to be a "Great" game I think there has to be some defense played too.

nope. it was a good game, though.
the way it ends needs to be better for it to be an all-time classic.

Does defense have to be played for a game to be considered among the best ever? Any game with scores in the 50s is just another Big 12 shootout (or early 2000s mid-major Thursday night game)
