College Football: Year’s Biggest Upsets…So Far
Writing by Igor Ivanov on Thursday, 25 of October , 2007 at 12:07 pm
2007 may or may not be remembered as the Year of the Upset in college football. But it should be.
It started on New Year’s Day, when five of the six bowl games were won by the underdog. Then Florida (+7) won the national championship over previously undefeated Ohio State.
Small potatoes. Try Appalachian State 34, No. 5 Michigan 32. The Division I-AA champions pulled off the biggest upset in college football since The Citadel beat Arkansas back in 1992, if not bigger. Making life in the Big Ten even worse, Minnesota fell to North Dakota State last week, 27-21.
At least USC didn’t get beaten by a lower-division program, but losing to Stanford 24-23 as a 39-point chalk comes pretty close. The Trojans had won 35 straight home games before that debacle. If FIU (+39) somehow manages to beat Arkansas this Saturday, the Razorbacks might as well quit football and take up macramé
