ESPN ranks 1971 Oklahoma-Nebraska top college football game of all time

NORMAN — Nearly a half-century later, the "Game of the Century" still holds up.

In an ESPN list released Monday, Oklahoma's 1971 showdown against Nebraska was voted the top college football game of all time.

ESPN partnered with Marvel comics to create an illustration for the game, based on Captain America and Iron Man.

The list is part of ESPN's CFB150 project, a year-long celebration of the 150th anniversary of college football. It was voted on by a panel of 150 voters including both retired and active writers, former coaches (including Bob Stoops), sports information directors and administrators, ESPN talent and broadcasters from other outlets.
