1. The Big Shootout. Texas vs. Arkansas 1969
2. The Ice Bowl. Dallas Cowboys vs. Green Bay Packers 1968
3. Rose Bowl. Texas vs. USC 2006
4. Wichita Falls Coyotes vs. San Antonio Robert E. Lee 1971 4A State Finals
5. Dallas Cowboys vs. Minnesota Vikings (Hail Mary pass) 1975

Y'all...?
Personally it is Wichita Falls vs San Antonio Lee. I am a '68 Lee grad and in Dec 1971 I was stationed in Lawton, OK and I found the game on the radio on a Saturday night coming from Wichita Falls (50 miles south of Lawton) -- it was the beginning of the fourth quarter and I realized the greatness of this game and I put a tape in the audio recorder. The fourth quarter lasted 45 minutes and I had to flip the tape over. After Lee won I kept the tape. Over the years I moved to Houston and watched Tommy Krammer play for Rice and the QB at the Vikings. Pat Rockett went on to play for the Braves.

I have converted the tape to an mp3 and I listen to it from time to time and realize it was a championship game that was won by two future superstars. This is a moment in my life that as a lonely service man, still remember and can still enjoy 41 years later. That's BIG.

I am shocked that this game was not on the first page.

1986 Martin junior High Eagles of Austin beat the favored Fulmore Falcons when yours truly scored on a 1 yard FB dive in the 4th quarter. Oh the memories...
