I'd argue 2015 FSU is #2 and the USC game is overrated.

Great post though

I agree the usc game is overrated, and they sucked and had a bad coach. but the simple fact we beat usc and broke the bowl streak was good enough to put in the top-10. there are certainly better games below it though probably.

Good point about breaking the bowl streak, especially after being bowl darlings for years before the losing streak began.

Really what I remember about the USC game most is CPJ was dressed like he was coaching the game on a beautiful autumn day and Kiffen was dressed like he was coaching the game in the Arctic.

Gardner-Webb is too high
with how much relief I felt after we won that game I figured this would be a good chance to put an FCS game higher up than the 60s. Also with a third string quarterback this game could have ended up being the most embarrassing loss in Georgia tech football history, and possibly even one of the biggest upsets in college football history. otherwise it would be a bottom dweller

I was despondent during the latter stages of the game. Booker was obviously not an option QB and we had no other QB's to go to. The play to Dwyer was fantastic

I still get pissed about that forward progress non-call TD in the 2014 ugag game.
JT5 even said he thought he was in the endzone when it happened.

Damn, I don't just want to beat UGAg now. I want to humiliate them. I want it to be out of reach by half.

That and the obvious offsides Clemson had in the 2011 game on the goal line are two of the worst blown calls I can remember in Georgia Tech wins
Agree. Add in the clock issue on the sideline pass at the end of first half of the UNC game. I see another countdown list - worst calls of the Paul Johnson era.

The most crucial being 2008 VT. Probably would have won the ACC championship that season.

A+, probably the best non-ööööpost offseason thread ever.

I would move Mississippi State down though, no way it's above any U[sic]GA win. In addition to the U[sic]GA games meaning more because of who they were against, all of them were nail-biters that came down to the last minutes.

That officiating crew was awful. I'm pretty sure they also counted off a penalty going the wrong way at one point too (though that was against UNC.)

You know you've had some good wins when 2009 VT is all the way down at #7.

My only squabble would be the TaxSlayer Bowl game is too high. It's just Kentucky... every win over FSU, Clemson, VT, and Miami should be above a Kentucky game.

Actually, Kiffin looked like the Unabomber with his hoodie and sunglasses

I concur.

If we were to create a corollary list of horrible memories -- GT's losses under CPJ -- the loss to Iowa was a bummer but felt nowhere near as bad as the losses to UGA... Thomas' dropped pass, the missed game-tying extra point, giving up a 20 point lead to lose in OT, etc.
