No Top Game for OSU?

Brad Edwards tweeted over the weekend about a new series airing on ESPNU featuring the Top 25 college football games from last year.

Here are the ones that have already been shown…

#25 – Clemson-Maryland
#24 – Baylor-Washington
#23 – Miss. St-Auburn
#22 – Michigan-Ohio St.
#21 – Mizzou-Arizona St.

All fine choices, I suppose. The kicker though1 is that the top five have already been revealed and there’s not an OSU game among them…

They are, in no order (you can vote for what order they should appear)…

Baylor-TCU
Oregon-USC
Stanford-USC
Michigan-Notre Dame
Michigan State-Wisconsin

So no room for the 52-45 November thriller with the national title still on the line? Or how about the 41-38 OT slugfest between the nation’s two best quarterbacks2? Wasn’t that pretty much the same game/score as the SC-Oregon game with a lot more on the line3?

I’m interested to see where those two land, and disappointed that they aren’t in the top five.

  2. Yes, yes, I know ↩
  3. I know Oregon was technically still in the hunt for the national title but USC won and they weren’t even eligible for post-season play!! ↩

    I would think the OSU-Stanford game would deserve a mention in the top 5, for several reasons.

    Michigan – ND was the best game of the year – hands down.
