Top 100 Plays in College Football History

My list of the top 100 best plays and most iconic moments in college football history. Obviously not everyone will agree, comment which ones you think I missed! Most plays are from the last 30 years since the footage is harder to find in old videos. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for all the support! I am thinking about making another video sometime in the future. My top choices are:
1) Top 30 games in cfb history
2) The best play of the last 100 cfb seasons
3) A remake of this video with fan suggested plays
Let me know what y’all want to see, and reply to this with any other ideas!

As a middle-aged dude I've seen a lot of these, and can't thank you enough for putting this together.

These types of videos are always "modern" history ... not this one .. these are some freaking classics. Amazing work.

I was at that 1982 Cal-Stanford game...as a sports intern for a SF TV station. I was a "grip" for the videographer & sports reporter. I saw the whole play unfold (we were at midfield on the sidelines...getting ready to head to the locker room for some post-game interviews.) I'll never forget this play for as long as I live. To experience it on the field is totally different than watching it on TV...or even from the stands..

This is easily one of the best lists I’ve ever seen. Almost every single one is ruined with modern bias (not that it’s everyone’s fault, old footage is not as assessable), yet this one is consistently filled with some of the classic plays from decades upon decades ago I’ve never seen

At 52:20, QB Stewart throws a hail mary from his own 27 yard line, to the 1 yard line of Michigan (and completed for a touchdownz). I've been watching football for many decades, but I've never seen ANYONE throw a ball 72 air yards.

[Noooo]

Watching the kick six live as an auburn fan created the best moment in football and best memory in all of sports to me

I have only made it to #82 and am already thankful for this video. So many of these "Best So-N-So in So-N-So History" then go on to only show plays from like the last 10-15 years. Thank for the research and curating.

So good to see someone post and see smaller and older teams represented. Thanks for a truly fun n awesome presentation.

I still think that Boise/Oklahoma game is the best football game I've ever seen. Even before the insanity of the ending Boise mounted one of the great comebacks to tie the game, THEN Peterson makes the monster run directly after to give OK back the lead. Then comes all the truly crazy stuff.

Just gives me goosebumps to see all the very old clips

Not a Nebraska fan at all, but that run by Tommie Fraizer was amazing.

[jrousselle]

I'm sure we could disagree where plays belong on this list. But let's just appreciate all the work that went into this. Great job.

I remember being in my bedroom watching Hal mummy get Gatorade poured on him. I said to my mom, the games not over. I was on the field 7 years later when we finally got our revenge against #1 LSU. The ups and downs of being a Kentucky Wildcats Football Fan. Go Big Blue!

I saw the kick six live…easily the greatest CFB game ever!

[inrock]

Good job. Number 1 is so iconic but that #2, that will always be my #1.

[patmalloy]

damn stewart really threw that 75 yards

[BenBouren]

“AUBURN’S GONNA WIN THE FOOTBALL GAME” still gives me chills…

[joePARKS]

I remember watching the ALA v AUB Kick Six stunned! One of the best college football plays ever!

[dclark]

Most fun memories...

That PERFECT hook and ladder by Boise State...seriously, watch that play and Oklahoma defends it well, but the pitch is perfect and the safety is ONE STEP out of position...and that starts the fairytale finish.

Vince Young SCORES. Probably the most 'I know exactly what is going to happen next' play in national championship games...and STILL USC couldn't stop him.

Auburn's magical year. That Georgia game gets overshadowed by the Iron Bowl kick-6...but both games were spectacular...and to be capped off by legendary plays to finish both off. Lightning strikes twice!

'I was there' moments:
Ohio State beats Purdue 13-9 on a bit of Krenzel magic. So proud of my Boilermakers in that game. We held the eventual national champion to only 6 points through almost the whole game...and it took a miracle play to beat us. That defense of ours was amazing.

Advice on the video:
The clock management game for Michigan State vs Michigan should have included the actual play where the clock 'stopped early'...bonus points if you have the Michigan radio call.
