Top 10 Utah-BYU games
The Cougars had won just one of the previous 28 meetings between the two rivals and were five-touchdown underdogs in this nationally televised game on Thanksgiving Day. The 2-6-1 Cougars hung with Utah all day and pulled within one when Phil Oyler caught a 32-yard touchdown pass with two minutes left. However, the PAT try failed due to a bad snap, leaving the Cougars losers again.

Those are in a pretty good order. I think that last game should be in here. That was pretty intense, especially given BYU's and Utah's directions at the beginning of the season and how BYU shutout Utah for 3 quarters.
You missed the McMahon "Scoreboard Game"...it was classic!
I forgot the 2008 game was that close through three quarters. I remember it being close at the half...
As for #1, as a Ute fan I'd like to see that moved somewhere else and put one of the 34-31 games at #1. I can still feel the gutting pain I originally felt when watching that game, pain which lasted for days, and I have to change the channel.
What about the 2010 game? Last year as conference rivals, etc. Burton's block of the field goal! What a game!
