54-51 and ND95.

I vote for 1978 pointless game v ILL

Thanks for sharing. If two NU games make this list, I agree it should be these two.

Funny thing, though: I see 17-15 is ranked #52 and right behind it is what I typically say is the single best college football game I've ever watched - the 2007 Fiesta Bowl (Boise State vs. Oklahoma). To me, that should be so much higher.

Had casual CFB fans talk about the 54-51 game.

They seemed to to them in groupings so not sure the number makes that much difference
