We've had a few days to let the Auburn's 22-19 win over Oregon sink in.

Now it's time to look over the 45 games in college football history that pitted the Associated Press' top two teams against each and rank the best of the best.

It's a great list of games, so here's another Ten in the Morning:

(Note: Games listed are ones this blogger watched live, in person or on TV, or on replay.)

1. Jan. 2, 1987, Fiesta Bowl, No. 2 Penn State 14, No. 1 Miami (Fla.) 10: Enough subplots, controversy and drama to last an entire season. If you’ve never seen the re-broadcast on ESPN Classic, don’t miss it the next time it’s on.

2. Jan. 3, 2003, Fiesta Bowl, No. 2 Ohio State 31, No. 1 Miami (Fla.) 24 (2OT): Soon, it will be the 10-year anniversary of this huge upset. It's been that long?

3. Jan. 4, 2006, Rose Bowl, No. 2 Texas 41, No. 1 USC 38: Matt Leinart vs. Vince Young. The Rose Bowl. It doesn’t get much better.

4. Nov. 18, 2006, regular season, No. 1 Ohio State 41, No. 2 Michigan 39: A perfect example of the game actually exceeding the hype.

5. Nov. 13, 1993, regular season, No. 2 Notre Dame 31, No. 1 Florida State 24: A fan of Dr. Lou? This game was Lou Holtz’s last great moment as Notre Dame football coach.

6. Jan. 1, 1994, Orange Bowl, No. 1 Florida State 18, No. 2 Nebraska 16: Bobby Bowden had to sweat out his first national championship as the Cornhuskers’ last-second field-goal attempt went wide left.

7. Sept. 16, 1989, regular season, No. 1 Notre Dame 24, No. 2 Michigan 19: Raghib “The Rocket” Ismail’s finest moment at Notre Dame with two kickoff returns for touchdowns against the Wolverines.

8. Sept. 27, 1986, regular season, No. 2 Miami (Fla.) 28, No. 1 Oklahoma 16: If you’re old enough to remember Brian “The Boz” Bosworth of the Sooners, then you’re old enough to remember fans in the Orange Bowl serenading The Boz with, “Bye, bye Boz!”

9. Jan. 10, 2011, BCS national championship, No. 1 Auburn 22, No. 2 Oregon 19: For the Ducks, it will always be a game of 'what if?' For the Tigers, war eagle!

10. Oct. 19, 1985, regular season, No. 1 Iowa 12, No. 2 Michigan 10: The first ever Big Ten conference game featuring the nation’s top two teams didn’t disappoint as a last-second field won it for the Hawkeyes.

Trying to predict where the NHL's Winter Classic outdoor hockey game will be played the following season is almost as fun as watching the game.

The past four years, it's been played in the Buffalo Bills' Ralph Wilson Stadium, Wrigley Field in Chicago, Fenway Park in Boston and Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.

Where next? The logistics are as big an issue as anything.

WHEN

It's usually played on New Year's Day. In 2012, Jan. 1 is a Sunday. There is no way the NHL is going head-to-head with the NFL. Plus, it wouldn't have the option of playing at night because NBC, which televises the Classic, will be showing the last game of the NFL regular season. Jan. 2 is the holiday observed for New Year's, so that's when it will most likely face off.

WHERE

- Yankee Stadium: It hosted the Pinstripe Bowl on Dec. 30. The college football game would have to be played a week earlier or a week later to allow time to set up the rink.

- Michigan Stadium, Beaver Stadium, Ohio Stadium, etc.: The problem with Big Ten stadiums is that the conference is tied into five New Year's Day bowl games, which cuts into the potential audience. Even if 100,00-plus hockey die-hards show up, you would need staff to work the game. That would be a tough sell. The other problem in Columbus is that it needs a good team that people would want to see on TV. The Blue Jackets aren't cutting it.

- NFL stadiums: As long as the football team doesn't mind playing on the road in Week 17, as the Steelers did this year.

- Canadian teams: No way. NBC wants American teams in big markets or with big stars.

- Rose Bowl: It was actually tossed out as a rumored site on the Internet. I believe the stadium is booked that day. I had to include it for a laugh.

So where does it go? FedEx Field in Landover, Md., for another Sidney Crosby-Alex Ovechkin sounds like a winner. Perhaps New Meadowlands Stadium for the Devils and Rangers? Or maybe Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia for the Flyers against the Penguins or Capitals? Or Invesco Field in Denver for the Avalanche and ... somebody?
