Best game in the past 5 years is the 2012 SECCG.



Now that I can agree with. Neither defense was particularly elite, but they were both pretty darn good and both offenses were operating on all cylinders.

I think everyone knows that game was the de facto national championship that year once it was known Notre Dame would be the opponent.

I think a good example of a well played game by both teams was the 2011 Rose Bowl

NFL talent on both sides, no turnovers, offenses made plays, defenses made plays, special teams units made plays, no dropped passes or any silly penalties or anything like that, dramatic finish, etc.

Vince Young doesn't get the respect he deserves because of the mental roller coaster he went on in the NFL. That dude is the best college QB I've ever seen play.

Listening to ESPN in the lead up to that game you would have thought the opposite was true. There were quite a few talking heads who truly believed Notre Dame was the better team. Then it turned out to be one of the most lopsided national championship games in the history of college football.

Yes.....I was in stress mode that entire game...I think I may have worked myself up a fever.

Lacy was brilliant in that game and the NCG.
