The Top Five Football Games of the Decade?

by Mike Salk

I tweeted this question last night, but watching highlights of the 2007 Fiesta Bowl made me wonder if it was one of the top five football games of the decade. I think determining the top ten is easy enough but trying to narrow it down to five is impossible. Brock and I got together on it this morning. Here is our top ten, based in part on your suggestions.

In no particular order:

1. 2007 Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma and Boise State

2. 1999 Super Bowl: St. Louis And Tennessee (Feb 2000)

3. 2001 Super Bowl: Pats and Rams

4. 2001 AFC Division Game: Pats and Raiders (Snow Bowl, Tuck Game)

5. 2005 Rose Bowl: USC and Texas (Jan 06)

6. 2005 AFC Champ: Pitt and Indy

7. 2007 Super Bowl: Giants and Pats

8. 2008 Super Bowl: Steelers and Cardinals

9. 2005 USC at Notre Dame

10. 2004 NFC Divisional Game: Philly and Green Bay (4th and 26)

How do you possibly cut that list in half? We need help!
