"USA Today" has released a list of The Top 25 Super Bowl Ads of the Past 24 Years.  They took the BEST commercial from each year . . . and then ranked them.

 --Each year's top ad was determined by their "Ad Meter" system . . . a
"real-time consumer ranking of Super Bowl commercials."  There's one entry from each year, except for 2011 when there was a TIE for the best one.

 --The #1 spot went to the McDonald's commercial from 1993, where MICHAEL JORDAN and LARRY BIRD played a crazy game of horse for a Big Mac.

 --The runner-up also starred Michael.  It was the Nike commercial from 1992, where Michael played basketball with Bugs Bunny.  (--Here's video.  It planted the seed for the "Space Jam" movie, which came out four years later.)

 --Coming in 25th, the "worst of the best," was the 2007 Budweiser ad with the crabs that worship the Budweiser cooler.
