Welcome to College Football Classics, a hub for the best shows on the turf. What constitutes a classic, you may ask? Many things, such as: close score, high stakes, memorable plays, subplots, overall viewership satisfaction, and more. At the end of the day, it’s subjective (1/2)
2016 - Week 10
Georgia @ Kentucky
In the first year of the Smart Era at UGA, the Dawgs were in jeopardy of losing to UK for the first time since ‘09. However, walk-on kicker Rodrigo Blankenship nailed a 25-yd FG as time expired. The Cats have still yet to beat UGA since ‘09.
2023 - Week 13
#8 Alabama @ Auburn
One of many classic Iron Bowls this century, the ‘23 edition gave us a jaw-dropping ending much like we got to see a decade prior. A 6-5 Tiger team pinned 10-1 Tide against the wall late in the 4th, then chaos ensued.

2007 - Week 7
#1 LSU @ #17 Kentucky
These two SEC opponents don’t meet often, but when they do, fireworks always seem to fly! Matt Flynn and Brandon LaFell spearheaded a deadly Tiger offense but UK’s defense came to play in this classic game.

2015 - Week 8
#9 Florida St @ Georgia Tech
In honor of the ‘24 season opening w/ FSU-GT, we revisit when these two ACC foes met in a game that shook the country. A lowly Tech team proved to be a difficult adversary for the Noles in this instant classic

2023 - Week 3
Colorado St @ #18 Colorado
The hype of the Deion Sanders-Colorado 2023 campaign climaxed with this state rivalry game. This 2OT classic was a seesaw of momentum and gave us the PrimeTime plays we were promised from Deion.

2014 - Week 14
Nebraska @ Iowa
A solid Cornhusker team led by Ameer Abdullah and Tommy Armstrong faced a 17-pt deficit midway through the 3rd quarter, then fireworks began to fly as the Big 10 foes traded punch after punch.

2006/07 Fiesta Bowl
#8 Boise St vs #10 Oklahoma
One of the most famous endings in CFB history capped off what’s arguably the greatest Fiesta Bowl ever played. Names such as Adrian Peterson, Mark Stoops, and Chris Petersen highlighted this special game.

2015 - Week 7
#7 Michigan St @ #12 Michigan
This edition of the Battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy is remembered by some as the “Trouble With The Snap” game. Fans from the state of Michigan will talk about this ending for years to come!

1999/00 Natl Championship (Sugar Bowl)
#1 Florida St vs #2 Virginia Tech
Opening up the 21st century, this game featured a legendary coaching duel between Bobby Bowden and Frank Beamer while also featuring Mike Vick and Chris Weinke.

All of these games are from the 21st century (but subject to change down the road) and are mainly games containing FBS schools only (but the FCS finds its way in from time to time). So sit back, relax, and feast on some of the best football this century has to offer! (2/2)
