Nice list, but of course I have to be a homer and add NT vs. Cincinnati. Number one on your list was definitely special. We were listening and driving through New Mexico in the middle of nowhere during that game, and finally found a TV during the second half in a one stop sign town. Great game, Twilight Zone type experience.

Haha I was singing karaoke at Texas Jive while we were watching that on the big screen. I was watching the whole time I was singing, and of course the timing was perfect - because in the middle of my song I yelled, "Holy shit, Boise State beat OU!" right into the mic and everybody's heads snapped around right at the end of the 2-point conversion.

I'd like to add another Boise to the list - umm I think it was the 2004 Motor City Bowl? Stefan LeFors and Lousiville vs...Jared Zabranski? and Boise State. There were like 7 lead changes and tons of crazy cool plays in that game. I think it ended like 44-41. I know it's not a BCS bowl or a UNT appearance, but that was one of the best bowl games I've ever seen.

Although I don't remeber much about the actual game, Iowa was in a New Year's Bowl a few years ago. They won it on the last play of the game with a pass to a senior. That was not only his first touchdown in college, but it was his first pass, in his last game.

Nebraska-Miami in the Orange Bowl in 1984 is still the best college game I've ever watched.

Texas-USC in the 2005 National Championship game was great, too.

Boise State over OU with all the trick plays is up here, too.

The Cotton Bowl of 1982 between Texas and Alabama, won in the 4th quarter by UT, 14-12 was also terrific, but a cut below the other three.

The TCU-Boise State Poinsettia Bowl was also very good, TCU winning 17-16, between two top ten teams.

The Snow Bowl between Mississippi State and Texas A&M in the Independence BOwl was also great, with MSU beating the Aggies in OT.

And, finally, to homer it up, UNT over Cincy in the NO Bowl of 2002. This has been the pinnacle of being a UNT Football fan, watching your underdog team beat the favorite in a great town in a bowl game against a team people actually have heard of.
