"Greatest college plays"

At least it's got people talking.

But those plays at ESPN are really dumb. The "Bush push" is that much better than "Young's run"? No, I don't think so. And Prothro's catch isn't even in the top ten? (And that's just from last year. What about 2004?)

If I had to pick the greatest fifteen plays ever (or even from the modern era), I'd have included Billy Cannon's run, at least, which is nowhere to be seen on that list.

The thing is, are we picking

1) the most important plays, in which case, anything that wins a national championship in the last minute gets it all over any other play ever; or are we picking

2) the most fascinating plays, the ones that you can't stop watching, even decades later, because they just don't make any sense whatsoever, and you'll never see anything like that again, in which case The Play will always be the Best College Football Play (although the greatest plays writer is a Stanford fan, since the original text claimed that there were two illegal laterals, neither of which matters), or are we talking about

3) the most amazing physical feats, in which case, Seneca Wallace's scramble is pretty cool and deserves something close to the top spot.

On the other hand, if we're just wanting to talk about (and argue about) these things, then it's good the ESPN list is so damn wrong.
