[@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...

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.

[@jamesknapp64]

2023 Texas a top 5 team winning on the road hardly qualifies as a big upset (2023 at Bama). 2021 A&M over Bama was an upset but not a historic one. Also the 2021 Arkansas team was an 8 win team, Texas went 5-7 and the game was in Arkansas... like how is that even an upset? Colorado at TCU was an upset but wasn't even the biggest one in the Big 12 last year (South Alabama won AT Oklahoma State) Famous Games missed Fiesta Bowl of Boise St vs Oklahoma with the infamous Statue of Liberty ending 2007 Stanford at USC wasn't shown. Stanford was a 40.5 point underdog 2007 Pitt at WVU Howard at UNLV biggest point spread upset in history 45 point underdog I don't give many videos a "thumbs down" and its not like KZbin shows them anymore, but this one did for just a poor selection of games.

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.

One that deserves to be on this list is an unranked, beaten down Penn State team beating #2 Ohio State in 2016. It was a much-needed signature win that changed the course of Penn State football that season and got the program back on track. The players that stuck with the program through some of its lowest moments had a courageous and monumental victory, and went on to win the B1G 10 championship that year. It's a game that I never get tired of watching!

[@Texashog11]

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.

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.

But G5 teams were no even allowed to play in major BCS bowls til 04, so 98 Tulane, 99 Marshall, 03 Miami Ohio were all out of luck. 04 Utah, 04 Boise State and 04 Louisville all went undefeated, but Utah being the highest ranked G5 team made the bowl game.
