My favorite finals of all time were the '97 nationals (Toroid Terror) between Beatty and Hammond and Chief Delphi.
Beatty was the offensive machine and Delphi was in the finals because of their defense. It went all 3 rounds. Beatty took the first and the third, with Delphi winning the second one by a matter of inches.
As for this year, I definetly have to say the VCU finals. In each match, the score was raised (only finals where I saw that). In the fifth match, the alliance score what seemed like an impossible score, considering that each alliance could only balance one goal. Then to have the other alliance come back to beat it made it the most exciting that I watched.
I also have to make a correction to Joel's post. At the San Jose regional 64 and 368 scored 29 points and lost the tie breaker to 330 and 372. That is 87 qualifying points. Don't forget that the west coast teams can score too
