re: Why is a 41-38 regarded as the best game ever played?

41-38 was a good game, but I hate high scoring shootouts where the defense can't stop anyone

Texas A&M-Duke is an example. You knew A&M was going to score each time they got the ball in the 2nd half, Duke had no answer, that's not entertaining if you know what will happen.

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.
