Yertle, I don't think the OSU/Miami title game will even make the top 10. It was a great game, but it didn't have the spectacular, last-ditch, pull-it-out-your-ass finish.

Depends how you look at it... if the top10 include great final plays, then yes it will miss that lineup.
However the game seemed to end in the first OT when Gamble was held and dropped the pass.
Then there was a goaline stand to end the game.
I dunno, considering how recent it was I have to think with the multiple endings and goalline stand that has to be somewhere in the top10...

I'll tell you what: If I knew how to do it, I'd put my remaining 25 vDollars where my vMouth is and bet you the OSU/Miami is above LSU/Iowa. At the least, the winner could have some vBragging Rights.

Either way, I don't know how to do it either. I lost a crap load betting that Gwaltney would go to USC in one of the polls. Outside of the standard polls, I don't know how to vBet.

For those who cited the LSU Kentucky game from 2002 its in there in the 11 through 20 rankings along with a certain tOSU vs sCUM game.
And
:(
And
The career making hail mary tossed against sCUM by Colorado is also on this section of Fiutak's list.

Since the Colorado's Hail Mary by Kordell Stewart and LSU's Bluegrass Miracle to Devery Henderson were numbers 12 and 11, the top-10 should all be pretty special.
Thoughts on number 16, which I watched on TV on my birthday:
I remember that Neal Colzie wasn't on the field for Levi Jackson's 88-yard run. I also remember that an MSU linebacker (who had a twin on the team) intercepted a pass during our last drive, but it was ruled incomplete. I also remember being pretty sure that Champ Henson scored on the play that ended with about 14 seconds left, The Lantern showed pictures of the play in their next issue. The refs should have stopped the clock after that play because MSU players were intentionally wasting time. I think the ball was hiked on time for the last play, but we should have been penalized for illegal procedure (backs not set) although no flag was thrown. But it was pretty bad that we got off only 1 legal snap in the last 20-some seconds.
As far as birthday games go for me, Holy Buckeye (#37 on this list) was much better!

Perhaps tipping the wink to Fiutak's final top ten finishes is his response to the question "What's Your Favorite Finish" at www.collegefootballnews.com

Here are 10 through 6. He shows a fondness for 2-point conversion attempts.
No. 10 Notre Dame 31 ... Miami 30, October 15, 1988 - "Catholics vs. Convicts" in an NC year for ND. Miami went for 2 at the end and failed.
No. 9 Florida State 18 ... Nebraska 16, Orange Bowl January 1, 1994 - Bobby Bowden finally gets his first NC
No. 8 Ohio State 31 ... Miami 24 OT, Fiesta Bowl January 3, 2003
At the time: Defending national champion Miami was 12-0 and the heavy favorites in the national championship against a 13-0 Ohio State team that wasn't always dominant, but always found a way to win.
The setup: After taking a 7-0 lead on a Ken Dorsey strike to Roscoe Parrish, it appeared that Miami was on its way to an easy win as the Buckeyes didn't get a first down until late in the first quarter. The Buckeyes finally got moving midway through the second quarter. After OSU quarterback Craig Krenzel was stuffed on third down on the goal line, head coach Jim Tressel had his first really big decision of the game. He went for it and Krenzel was barely able to get in to tie it at seven. The Buckeyes kept the Canes on their heels in the second half, but after a 57-yard pass play to Chris Gamble, disaster almost struck. Miami's Sean Taylor made a big play to force a fumble and prevent an Ohio State touchdown grabbing the ball and taking off down the field. OSU RB Maurice Clarett was able to catch up and rip the ball away from behind to give the Buckeyes the ball back leading to a 44-yard Mike Nugent field goal for a 17-7 lead. Miami star RB Willis McGahee was getting warmed up blowing past the tiring Buckeye front seven, but just as it looked like he'd take the game over, he suffered a blown out knee and was lost for the game. Miami couldn't seem to catch a break as Todd Sievers just missed a 54-yard field goal that would've tied things. However, Ohio State's offense couldn't find a way to run out the clock giving Dorsey had one last drive for a national title set up by a long punt return by Roscoe Parrish. Dorsey got his Canes into position and Sievers came through putting the game into overtime with a 40-yard field goal.
The ending: The Canes scored on a seven-yard touchdown pass to TE Kellen Winslow on their first overtime possession. Miami appeared to have the national championship won when Glenn Sharpe broke up a Krenzel pass in the end zone on fourth down, but he was nailed with a controversial pass interference call to keep the game alive. Krenzel punched it in for a one-yard TD run to force a second overtime. Maurice Clarett scored on a five-yard touchdown run on OSU's possession in the second overtime for a 31-24 lead. On Miami's turn, Dorsey got his bell rung and had to come out on the biggest drive of the year. After a few time outs to try and clear the star quarterback's head, Dorsey was able to come back in and completed a perfect fourth down pass to Winslow to keep the season alive. With first and goal on the six, the Buckeyes got nailed with a pass interference call on Chris Gamble to give the Canes first and goal from the one. Jarrett Payton was stopped. Second and goal. Dorsey couldn't connect with a wide-open Eric Winston. Third and goal. Stopped. Fourth and the national title from the one. Ohio State got pressure on Dorsey forcing a prayer that went nowhere, and the Buckeyes had the national title.
How they ended up: Ohio State finished 14-0 and won the national title in both polls. Miami finished second.
My comments - No mention of Gamble being held twice and catching the ball in bounds with 2:18 to play. No mention of 4th and 14 in the first OT.
No. 7 Miami 31 ... Nebraska 30, Orange Bowl, January 1, 1984 - Miami loses their season opener to Florida 38-3, and the old bowl system allows them to be #4 and host #1 Nebraska. Osborne courageously and foolishly goes for 2 and fails.
No. 6 Miami 26 ... Florida State 25, October 3, 1987 - Miami ended up winning their second NC. This was the Michael Irvin vs. Deion Sanders game. Bowden went for 2 in the last minute and failed.
No. 10 Notre Dame 31 ... Miami 30, October 15, 1988 - "Catholics vs. Convicts" in an NC year for ND. Miami went for 2 at the end and failed.
No. 9 Florida State 18 ... Nebraska 16, Orange Bowl January 1, 1994 - Bobby Bowden finally gets his first NC

HTTR Forever.
Must have missed that. Or do they call catching the other QB's passes a fumble in Miami?

The media loves the Stanford band and the trombone player. The play kept Elway, one of the best players ever, from ever playing in a bowl game.
On replays, one of the Cal guys pretty obviously has a knee down before he laterals the ball, but that would have spoiled all the fun.
