Wow am I lucky to have attended all of those.

I'll challenge the inclusion of Ga Southern if this is meant to be a true top 5, given the following were left out: ACCCG '09, Orange Bowl '14, UGA '08, UGA '14. The energy, atmosphere, and ending at each of those easily surpasses Southern in my mind.

The Scott Sisson kick in Charlottesville in 1990 was a far bigger deal than the Ga Southern play. UVA was ranked #1 at the time and this game vaulted us into contention for our 1990 NC.

Per the Tweet and YouTube page it's a top 5 in the Paul Johnson era. Wouldn't debate you otherwise.

Agreed. I even question putting the FSU game at Doak over some of those you listed (if not for Nesbitt's absurd strip to get the fumble back). UGA 08 to break a streak of losses to UGA when a win in that game would have let them TIE the longest streak in the rivalry that GT held... that's a huge deal.

I bet they didn't include 09 ACCCG because it was vacated... as dumb as that may be.

What about Clemson '11... they were #5 (yea one poll had them 6 but others had them 5).

I guess there really has been too many. It definitely feels like a lot of thrilling wins.

This isn't a very good list. FSU on Saturday is definitely the #1 most thrilling, but where is the Georgia game from last year? That was more exciting than the 09 FSU game. 09 at Tallahassee was a big win, but it wasn't exactly some sort of last minute win...

This is a terrible, lazy list. The inclusion of 14 GSU has already been discussed. FSU and VT in '09, while tremendous victories, were not "thrilling." In both, we were up by two scores late in the fourth, gave up a touchdown, recovered the onside, and ran out the clock.

Just off the top of my head, 08 Gardner Webb (yuck), 09 Clemson (The Scott Blair Show), 09 Wake OT, 09 ACCCG, 10 Wake (Corey Earls Slant Pass), and 14 UGAg were all more "thrilling" than 09 FSU and VT.

It's like they just wanted to make another video of the FSU win, and they thought, "quick, somebody grab 4 more clips of GT wins to include in this." I could have easily picked better games.

My Top Five would be:
1: The block-six against FSU
2: DJ White interception in Athens last year.
3: Harrison Butker kick in Athens last year.
4: Joshua Nesbitt take back against FSU
5: DJ White interception against VPI last year.
