Goodness where to begin? Just from a neutral observer/max entertainment standpoint these come to mind:

2001 Auburn
2003 @LSU
2005 Auburn
2005 West Virginia Bowl
2008 ga tech
2009 LSU
2011 SC
2011 Mich State Bowl
2012 Bama SECCG
2013 @Clemson
2013 @AU (prayer at JH)
2013 @ga tech
2016 Tennessee (hail mary)
2017 Bama national title
2018 Bama SECCG
2024 @Bama

I've been to plenty others that had closer final outcomes than some of these, and several that went to OT that didnt' make the list. The ones above weren't just "close games" but had, IMO, some other elements to them that would make them enjoyable to watch to some casual fan in the midwest with no interest in either team.

I've been to so many UK football games and seen us lose in just about every possible way. Honestly, no game sticks out to me. The wins definitely do.

1990 Cotton Bowl, back and and forth game but turnovers did us in.

Easily the 1998 SEC championship game. Leading in the 4th quarter and the usually flawless defense allowed two 4th quarter TDs

No doubt for me 05 Texas/OSU. Incredible crowd great game. Legit think OSU outplayed Texas for the middle 40 minutes…but Vince Young was one of a kind legit
