    That's a lot of games to rank, so naturally some of them really don't seem like they are really anything special.

    I do notice a couple of things.

    1. 3 Big 12 Conference games in the top 10 vs 2 SEC Conference Games.

    2. Irish only have 3 games in the top 102 and none in the top 10. USC/ND is #14.

    3. Fla. State has 8 games listed in the Top 102 vs the Gators only having 4.

    4. Texas has 2 games in the top 10, and 6 overall.

    5. Nebraska has 4 games in the top 102 none in the top 10 though.

    Anyway just another list, another guys opinion.


    Top Games

    It's hard for me to buy that there a 6 games better than USC at OSU.

    Agreed, Gip. Recognizing that it is open to a wide range of opinions, I see 4 games ahead of OSU-USC that should be ranked lower.

    Yeah I'd have to disagree with the placement of that game.

    UCLA and Cal didn't even make the list but Texas/Baylor did? After USC for the Bruins and Stanford for Cal, those are their biggest rivals.

    BTW-

    Florida LSU and Bama LSU in the top 5 is a joke. Bama's game against VTech is much bigger at this point.

    I'm guessing the author of this list gave greater weight to conference games...thus USC/tOSU not as big as tOSU/PSU.
