- If the outcome of the game is helpful to my favorite team.
- Whenever Alabama loses, it is probably a good game.
- If a coach like Bielema is not freaking out at the refs by the end of the game, must be lame.
- Underdog victories
- Controversial finishes (most of the time, they can ruin great games too)
- Certain commentators
- Nail biting finishes
- Oregon cheerleaders always helps
- Good officiating
I think the scores don't matter it's the play on the field that makes it a "good game".
You could have 3 quarters of low score with both defenses just curb stomping each others offenses, then come to the 4th quarter and it's all out offensive show.....
