OU was a nail biter. Jerry-dome was one-of-a-kind. Very cool to be there.
UCLA'S was most distant time-wise. Very fun. Unga, Unga.
Texas is most recent and there is a sense that Texas should have been more difficult, also, maybe this is sweeter bc its been awhile since a big win, plus home field.

Nw if you threw in Texas A&M--only time I ever stormed field after. Great game, but Texas still better.
Miami--ugh. Sold my ticket to watch on TV with replay and to hear announcers. Biggest regret of my fan-life. But in order of big wins--
Miami
Texas
A&M-OU (tie for me)
UC!A
Michigan
Pitt

The mention of the 84 Michigan game that brought us the national championship trumps all of them for me. It's my write in vote. I love all of them though and this is a great thread.

I didn't get to see the UCLA game since I was running from a hurricane. UT game for me.

Wow, surprised OU isn't getting more votes. That was my pick. #3 team in the country, Heisman winner, hostile crowd and nobody gave us a chance. Plus I'm still worried about our passing game and bummed about UVA.

Ou or Miami were the best teams that we beat. Texas and UCLA were so-so those years.

Attended all 3. The two games that everyone thought we would lose were OU and TX. Most dominant performance between the two was TX game but OU had the drama with last minute victory/upset.

I watched all three in person as well. UCLA was probably the most fun. OU was the most gratifying. Texas was a relief.

The most fun game for me is usually the next game almost regardkess of the opponent because I love to watch my team - starters and reserves alike - and can hardly wait for the action to start. The next game right now is The Utes which is phenominal - but the 2 week wait is killing me.

But since you are probably asking re games that already happened, recency, impact nationally for the team and individuals, storied opponents with us as underdogs, arrogance of opposing fans and players, etc., factor in. Complex.

Michigan - NC
Miami - Won the Heisman for Detmer
SMU - Amazing comeback for McMahon
Texas - Recency, Brand, Improbable, unusual way it happened
K-State - Capped 14-1 Season in 1st Jan 1 Bowl
Missouri - Miracle finish for Steve Young
UCLA - Blocked kick at the gun - improbable
A&M - Polite, but arrogant fans
Oklahoma - Memory of Barry Switzer
TCU - Road vs #15
ND - Brand

Some Utah games probably fit in up there, but they all kind of run together in my mind. But yeah - the clanked field goal, 4th and 7, Staley, Harline, Andrew George, Max Hall's rant, are all up there somewhere.

The night Riley Nelson saved the program from a 2nd consecutive Jake Heaps led loss is up there somewhere because of how down BYU was at the time and the implications of such a loss. Then BAM. Running. Throwing. OL pushing the pile forward. Too bad he did not have the body to sustain that.

Tons of other wins vs U, UCLA, UW, ASU, A, WSU, Ole Miss, and other BCS teams.

Some SDSU, AFA, and other conference dog fights were fun.
