We have probably done this before so shut me up if we have.

For me it has to be the Boise St vs Oklahoma in the BCS with the end of the game statue of liberty winning the game! Followed with Fluties hail Mary decades ago. ALL time greatest was the "immaculate" reception of Franco Harris and Pittsburgh in the 70's. Of course that was Pro but, wow I still see it in slow mo!

For me it was "The Play", Cal-Stanford. Why, well one because I am a Cal fan, 2. I was there, and 3. Seeing a Stanford band member get crushed. Ah...good times.

Besides that...not a play, but a performance...Marshall Faulk breaking the single game rushing record against UOP. Why...1. I was there, 2. I was shocked going "who the hell is this guy", and 3. I was amazed because he didn't start the game and didn't come in until the end of the 1st quarter. If he had been in there the whole time, Tony Sands from Kansas never would have broke his record in the last game against K-state that same year.

Mine was against Purdue at Ross-Ade stadium in 2002. I was at the game. The play was the "holy Buckeye" pass from Krenzel to Jenkins on 4 and 2. No one thought Tress would call a pass play - and he didn't - Krenzel changed the play in the huddle and hit Jenkins in the endzone to win the game. Traffic was terrible on the way home and I didn't mind one bit.

This one has my vote.

Mine was Vick's 40+ yard scramble against West Virginia in 1999. I remember falling to my knees in front of the TV begging Vick to bring them back from a sure loss. Then he broke free and scrambled 40 yards into W. Va territory and the field goal kicker makes it to keep them undefeated and on their way to the National Title Game.

Although Logan Thomas's 20 yard QB Sneak with 30 seconds to play against Miami has created a new game changer memory for me. In fact, that game changed the whole complexion of the season and is the reason they are 11-1 and vying for an ACC title.

I was at that game and remember saying they will go for it all before it happened. A bad memory.

I was in the endzone on the closed end of the stadium (the opposite side the completion was on) so I saw the rear view of the play. When Krenzel did the play action fake my heart sank. Then I saw him let loose of the ball and I couldn't see Jenkins from that view. I thought he was throwing out of bounds. When I saw Jenkins running threw the back of the endzone holding the football up I went from down to elated in the blink of an eye. That was a good game. The field goal kick with 2 seconds at the end of the half and then that ending. I could see how the memory would have been so great from the other view.

Maybe we saw each other and didn't know Boilers.

I would say this play is the most storied in all of CFB

Yup, I change my vote to Cal/Stanford! On the pro side the "Immaculate reception" is still it!
