Games of the century? --Jingofetts 19:30, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] USC vs. Texas

That wasn't considered a game of the century before, and it wasn't after, by any coach or other professional. It was a good game, no doubt, and it did have a 1 ranked and 2 ranked team against each other, but it wasn't thought as a game of the century. If that qualifies, then the 2003 Fiesta Bowl and the Catholics vs. Convicts game should be.

[edit] 1987 Fiesta Bowl: #1 Miami vs. #2 Penn State

This was billed by NBC as the true Game Of The Century and remains to this day the highest-rated televised game in the history of college football. --BroadSt Bully 00:49, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] six?

how can there be SIX games called the Game of the Century? Four of them are in a 6 year span! Kingturtle 00:36, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] georgia tech vs cumberland college???

where is it?

[edit] 1935: Ohio State - Notre Dame

I'm pretty sure this one was billed as a "GOtC" back in the day, shouldn't someone add it to the list?

[edit] Split this article?

The games should be covered by separate articles; in fact, some already are. Suggest we split the content of each section into a page (if it isn't already on one) then leave this page as a disambig page linking to those. See the Snow Bowl (disambiguation) as an example.

[edit] Georgia Tech-Cumberland? Is that a joke?

The most lopsided game in history does not belong with all the rest. It's an interesting game for other reasons, but it's completely out of place here. Funnyhat 00:53, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
