I still remember exactly where I was when Appalachian State beat Michigan. I'll never forget that moment lol.. watching it live was insane.

I remember being at like a red lobster and seeing the highlights and telling my Sunday school teacher how big of an upset it was. Fun and easy times back then

[@trevorlafalce5789]

I was in Section 17, Seat 6....at Michigan Stadium...I was 7 years old at the time. Who would have thought that the first time I would see Michigan lose a game would be one of the most historic losses of all time...

[@Astrohhh]

@@trevorlafalce5789 Lol that's amazing though. Must have stung in the moment, but looking back.. that's a memory you'll have for life. Such a historic game to attend.

[@trevorlafalce5789]

@@Astrohhh Indeed. My father was standing next to me, and prior to the field goal, told me, "If he gets the ball through the goal post, we win!". Then that happened...I asked him what was going on (our seats were on the opposite side of where the FG attempt was), and he told me, "you will remember this moment for the rest of your life". FYI, I was also at the Michigan vs MSU game in 2015...same seats, this time I knew what was going on...

[@zacharyscott6779]

I was at Surfside Beach, SC. It was labor day weekend. When Michigan got the big pass we all thought they would escape with the FG.

Trivia: Marshall beating Notre Dame and Georgia Southern beating Nebraska were on the same weekend in 2022, along with Appalachian State beating Texas A&M in College Station. That was a great weekend to be a Sun Belt football fan.

There are a lot on this video that absolutely belong, but a lot that don't either. Just because someone beats Alabama doesn't make it the biggest upset in CFB history. It just makes it a good win. Especially when you've got the team beating them as a top 25 team.

[@llyukll]

And all of these games seem to be within the last 20 years. Agree with your Alabama take, there's no world where #6 beating #3 qualifies as one of the greatest upsets in history.

How in the world did that help change the cfb landscape to what it is today? Lol

[@hankthewolf]

@@SouthernSooner-wn3el Helped to create the 2011 BCS controversy which in turn led to the CFB playoffs being put into effect. If the Cowboys win that game then they’re the clear #1 and there is no controversy and the BCS is probably still going for at least a few years after.

[@SouthernSooner-wn3el]

@@hankthewolf that’s a stretch, there was controversy with the bcs and playoff talk way before that.

[@hankthewolf]

100% and they most likely would have gone to a playoff format at some point anyways. I just think people were so angry that year that it kinda pushed the NCAA’s hand.

[@timbest2125]

​@hankthewolf They would've absolutely been in the BCS title game if they won that game, but LSU would've still been the undisputed #1 entering that game. I still think OSU deserved to get in over Bama tho, even if they ended up beating LSU for the title. I said what I said.

6 Tennesse beating 3 Alabama is not an all time upset. Tennesse was home, and would finish regular season 10-2, same as Bama. Not an upset.

The Arkansas -Texas game wasn’t that big of an upset. When Arkansas beat #1 Texas 42 - 11 in 1981, I think, that was a big upset. When Arkansas beat Oklahoma in the 1978 Orange Bowl it was a huge upset. When Arkansas beat Jimmy Johnson’s Miami team in the mid 89’s IIRC that was a huge upset. Whoever put this together isn’t qualified to state these are the greatest upsets ever as their knowledge is limited. There are other booger upsets than these Arkansas upsets. Just thought of another 2 big Arkansas upsets. Texas A&M in 1975 and then Georgia in the 1976 Cotton Bowl.

[@Whodatandamericasteam]

I hate when a video shows a couple of actual all time upsets. Then they just put your average upsets this year and hype them up like they are legendary upsets.

[@mattwilliams5773]

Right. I don't know how TCU vs. Colorado was an upset. Both teams were trash.

[@mattwilliams5773]

Or Texas and Alabama. Both above-average teams. Where is the "Biggest Upsets" in that. Most sucked. not tmany were Ohio State vs. Purdue or Michigan vs. App State. Horribly sloppy job. I could name many more better upsets.

[@fangs278]

Exactly! How does Texas vs Alabama and Davis vs Tulsa make it in here, but not stanford vs usc from 2007? The trojans were favored by 41 points!

[@WillMuny]

@@fangs278 Who cares what Vegas thinks. But a 4-8 team beating a #3 11-2 team is an upset. Though then you have to include 3-8 USC beating #3 11-2 Penn State 21-10 in 1991. But then what about when Memphis State beat USC 24-10 a week earlier. But is a 5-6 team beating a 3-8 team an upset just because of their names?

my son's senior year in HS, they were in 4th place with 3 weeks left and had 3 opponents that were still undefeated to end the season. they beat the first one 28-3, 2nd one 45-10, and last one 28-27 to end the season 9-1 and won their conference and make the playoffs. the last game they were up 28-21 with 35 secs, but the refs blew a call that allowed the other team to score a TD at the end. the other team decided to go for 2 instead of 1 pt to win and son's team intercepted it in the endzone.

[@kirkcoatsccc594]

What a end to the season!

[@Seadansr1]

@@kirkcoatsccc594 hell yeah it was. my son has autism and was a DL player. so the coaches barely used him except end of games. the last game he played, he was in for 3 plays. 1st play, he sacked the QB for 10 yds. 2nd play, with two OL on him, he tackled the RB for 7 yds. 3rd play, this time with 3 players guarding him, he sacks the QB for another 12 yd loss. his teammates were ecstatic on how he did. 2 sacks, 1 tfl, -29 yds allowed. proud daddy moment for me

As a UGA fan, Bama vs A&M in 2021 was prolly the best game I’ve ever watched (I’m exaggerating but definitely was a amazing game)

[@georgelorenzo754]

Memphis over six ranked Peyton Manning and Tennessee in 1996 was the biggest upset I have ever witnessed. That has to be the worst loss suffered by the famed quarterback in his college career. Manning looked dazed and confused by the Memphis pressure in that game.

Every time Bama gets beat isn't some major upset. Hell, they lost to a #6 ranked Tennessee in Knoxville. It's not like they got dropped by Western Carolina or somethin.

[@parklloyd6690]

Another one that could be added is the Utah win over Alabama in the 2008 Sugar Bowl. The Utah Utes ran a no-huddle offense and led 21-0 in the first quarter before Nick Saban knew what hit him. EVERYONE was saying that Utah had been lucky all season to end up at #7 (and they had had some lucky breaks), and that Alabama was going to wipe the floor with the Utes. VERY satisfying as a Utah fan to see all the Alabama fans just stunned, and to see Coach Saban so flummoxed. Those were days never to be forgotten. Cheers.

[@braydonphilpot9141]

If I’m correct too Utah was the first Group of 5 team to go fully undefeated too. That 08 team was magic. One of the beast teams Utah’s ever had. They should’ve had a shot at the title that year.

First on the list: the game where, at the end, I was like "Okay, App State, looks like y'all had a lot of fun today. You put on a great, competitive game. You'll probably win your national title, even! Unfortunately, it's time for the silliness to stop. Michigan's gonna kick the FG, get their sigh of relief, and we all go back to business as usual." And then they blocked the FG. My 12-year-old, sports-addled brain couldn't process for a few minutes what I'd watched. Total blue screen. Like...what actually happened? A 1-AA school not only beat a 1-A school...they beat the #5 ranked 1-A school.

Tenn got away with: - a brutal Targeting hit on Bryce - several blatantly PI’s - a stop with 12 Defenders which if called would have been 1st and Goal at the 1 - A reversed Fumble right after Alabama created a fumble and scoop and score on the Previous drive putting them up by 7 late. - The same drive as the previous BS was a game ending interception at the Endzone Pylon which was returned 40+ YARDS before suddenly until the Referee who was standing under the Goalpost threw a Flag for “Pass Interference”. The side judge that was 2 yards away from the interception didn’t throw a flag, but the Ref that is 25 Yards away from the play “Horizontally” waits until it’s returned 40+ Yards to throw a flag.
