Best BCS game.

The best game? By far, the Rose Bowl.

The most enjoyable? OSU kicking Notre Dame's ass.


Even with my OSU bias being set aside, I still don't think that this year's game could touch our NC. I think the sheer awesomeness of the game fades over time, especially after a game like this, but our game had it all. MoC's strip was bigger than any play in this game. More all-around talent on both sides, not just Vince Young kicking every other kid's ass on the playground. Better defense. 2 overtimes. Game tying field goals. Goal line stand in overtime to win. It had it all.

Easily the Rose Bowl was the best BCS game this year. It's been said, but it obviously had the most on the line, had great talent on both sides, and was very close and competitive. This has to be the best 4 games the BCS has put together so far.

Well this was definitely one of the best bowl seasons I can remember. The Alamo Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, The Orange Bowl, and the Rose Bowl (let me know if I forgot any), but making this as impartial as possible the best game was the National Championship game. This was quite possibly one of the greatest games ever played, and in my book, Vince Young played possibly one of the greatest games and greatest bowl performance in college football history. The guy's talent is phenomenal. The Longhorns proved that they are the best team in the nation (much to Leinart's dismay :wink2: ), and even though I'm a biased Buckeye fan; this was quite possibly one of the greatest games I can remember, especially for a NC game. If not, is awfully close. It'll be interesting to see if Young comes back next year, now. The guy is a solid Top 5 pick, and was clearly the best performer on the field tonight. Even as great as the Fiesta Bowl was, this was clearly the best bowl game of the year, and quite possibly among the all-time great games. So, sorry I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. What a game, and what a treat for any college football fan who had the chance to witness this game.

I think our NC game versus Miami is the only better one than this. (I thought this title meant ALL BCS games played, not just this season) Only because we were even bigger underdogs against Miami and it was The Best Defense versus The Best Offense.

... Still if you liking Offense then this would be your favorite. I mean com'on people we went TWO overtimes to win over Miami, nothing can top that drama!

Rose Bowl easily gets the nod, but all four games were really good. Perhaps the best four BCS games in one season ever.

No doubt about it. Each game had great storylines leading up to them and all four lived up to the hype (and probably surpassed it). With the exception of a couple minor bowls that no one cared about anyway, this is easily one of the best bowl seasons (that didn't have an OSU national championship) I've ever witnessed.

Not just the best bowl season, but also the best BCS matchups yet.

All four BCS games were entertaining, hard fought and close (except one :biggrin:).

Ohio State beat Notre dame for the third straight time. The 14 point Margin of Victory was more then the other three BCS bowls combined.

WVU shocked everyone by knocking off UGA in Atlanta by 3.

In a battle of the two winningest coaches in Div1 history, Penn State survives three OT's and a laundry list of missed kicks and opportunites to beat Bobby "Dadgummit" Bowden and Florida State by a field goal.

Vince Young does his best impersonation of Moses and carries his team to the promised land on his back, by ending USC's 34 game winning streak and showing he was by far the best player on the field, Heisman Trophy be damned. Lendale White joined Vince as the other player to outshine Reggie "my shit don't stink" Bush.

Four games. Two upsets, one near upset, and one exposed fraud.

The Rose Bowl was by far the best game. IMHO as a football game the Fiesta Bowl was the worst of all the BCS games. We dominated ND the whole game while the other 3 games were close. As a Buckeye fan I loved the Fiesta and Rose a lot.

Someone tell Vince Young that he has now done it all in college. It's time to take the next step. :wink:

Rose Bowl...But when do we get an announcing crew to match...Jackson is long past his "prime" and I get tired of Fout's "on-air" errors and shouting...

What got me was Fouts' constant harping about VY's knee being on the ground...it was a bang bang play, and Texas hurried and got the play off. If USC had a problem with the call, they needed to call timeout and give the replay officials a shot (of course I think Texas would have scored on the drive anyway). My fear is that this will get some people to try to get some NFL type team-initiated replay, which I hate, even though a time out does just about the same thing...

In fact I would reason that the Texas kicker missed the extra point because he was hurried trying to get the play off before a review. I think they would have scored anyway if it was overturned.
