6. ARKANSAS @ (15) TCU – September 10th, 2016
This entry may not have had national implications, but it was one heck of a battle. These two southern teams duked it out with a QB battle between Austin Allen and Kenny Hill that was extremely underrated at the time.

It's a sight for sore eyes to see Alabama-LSU become relevant again. Under the direction of perpetual bridesmaid coach Ed Orgeron, the Bayou Bengals fought to the very end against Alabama. These two defenses had one of the most impressive games since the classic clashes Alabama and LSU had in 2011.
