2: Ohio State vs. Michigan (2016) 30-27

This one was a tough choice. I really loved this game as well as the 2018 game. Because of that, I let the fans speak which one I should put at number two.

They spoke and said the 2016 game can be up there with the 2006 game.

Both teams were fighting for a spot in the College Football Playoffs and this was if you lose you’re done. On a 4th and 1, JT Barrett would run an option and the Michigan defense thought he was short.

The refs would review the spot and measure it. Afterward they gave Ohio State the first down and then Curtis Samuel would rush in for the game winning score. Buckeye fans were cheering, but Jim Harbaugh would go to the media after the game and give his take on the situation, saying how Barrett was short.

This win would give Ohio State the playoff-berth.
