    Like outofplace, a completely biased opinion from me says this should be No. 1.

    Colts had started the season 13-0; Steelers won four straight after a 7-5 start to sneak in. And the Steelers won in what was one of the more improbable runs the NFL has seen.

    And think about what happened in the last 5:30 alone in that game, when the Steelers led 21-10 ...

    --Steelers seal it, No. 1 -- Manning's pick to Polamalu
    --Replay somehow overturns that
    --Three plays later, the Colts march into the end zone and get the two-point conversion
    --Cowher reverts to his ultra-conservative self and the Steelers go three-and-out
    --Steelers seal it, No. 2 -- Joey Porter's two sacks results in a turnover on downs
    --Steelers seal it, No. 3 -- The Bus in a goal-line situation, bleeding clock
    --The Bus fumbles, and Big Ben -- the fastest Steeler on the field on that play -- makes the Terrible Tackle
    --Colts march into field-goal range, but don't make it an easy try for Vanderjagt
    --Steelers seal it, finally -- wide right; Dungy, Manning, Cowher and The Bus all caught on camera saying, "He missed it!"

    ... I might never experience a more agonizing sequence of plays in my life. That game drained me.

    After that comes Texas-USC, George Mason-UConn and the World Cup final, which wouldn't have been all that memorable without Zidane.

    Hey Buck, what if we dug up a glorious Braves come from behind victory, would that make the cut?
