One I haven't seen mentioned is the Oklahoma - Boise State Fiesta bowl.

While this game may not have had any championship impact, the individual game had every element you could want in a college football classic.

1. Underdog victory
2. Back and forth the whole game
3. All hope for the underdog seems lost when suddenly....
4. Multiple successful trick plays
5. Overtime
6. More trick plays
7. RB who scores game winning two point play proposes to cheerleader girlfriend on the field

It's the game that really escalated my college football fandom from mostly Ole Miss and somewhat regional interest to where I didn't miss a bowl game for years.

The statue of liberty to win the game gets all the love but honestly the hook and lateral to send the game into overtime was the better play
