I'd add Indiana to the list

for both the novelty of winning the first on-campus playoff game in CFB history and the festive atmosphere, which was noticeable even to those of us watching from home (and no doubt heightened by the Christmas week setting). Also, while I get that the "major bowl drought" didn't technically end until the Sugar Bowl, the game meant more, and was more consequential, than the various Fiesta and Sugar Bowl losses that preceded it.

I also have a soft spot for the 2008 Hawaii Bowl win, despite the shitty season that preceded it, if only because it broke the bowl game losing streak.
