Just as far as 2 teams you want to beat, that's got to be the best 2 games in a row in the history of the program. Quite amazing. How great is it to have a coach that can not only get us to these big games, but win them as well. We just freakin beat Michigan and Notre Dame...hot damn!!!

I think the other pair of back-to-back victories that some would consider to be as satisfying as these was:

That was the "couldn't go for 3" game, followed by the #1 vs. #2 Rose Bowl matchup against Heisman-winning O.J. Simpson. Both very enjoyable.
I understand that you're making the statement based on the opponent, not on the significance of the game based on current rankings. Which is why the last 2 games of the 2002 season don't top your list.
