Greatest Play in College Football History?

Steve-o thinks it's this one. Furthermore, he thinks it's the "greatest play in American Sports history."

While undoubtedly impressive, I think it's this one.

I remember watching this game, and being stunned, much like everyone else, that Flutie managed to get that pass off, let alone that he got it to the receiver---and that Phelan managed, somehow, to actually catch it.

What I also remember is Vinny Testaverde's soul-wrenching expression of pure stunned, gaping-mouthed disbelief at the outcome, which, before that pass, had been pretty much in his favor (not only game-wise, but Heisman Trophy-wise, as well), but unfortunately, I couldn't find a video which covered that particular moment in time.

Both are flukes, obviously. But does the fact that the Stanford band was on the field trump Flutie's mad pass throwing skillz? I don't think so.
