College football Upsets

[TFoA]

As an aside, if this is the biggest win in Ohio University history, that program must be a relative bottom feeder, because Pitt's not a good team.

Yup, Ohio U. has sucked since forever.

[NJTank]

That was this first time Ohio U was ever on ESPN so you better believe it was huge.

The Pitt/Ohio game was on ESPN2 here.

Iowa State defeats Iowa is definately an updset, but one reason for the loss was the injury to drew tate

In all seriousness, it is an upset and all, but should we really think it's an upset if one team beats another team 6 times in 8 years?

One week after barely losing to Indiana, Central Michigan knocked off Miami, 38-37.

FIRE UP CHIPS!

Miami of Ohio that is....

How about the Irish? They beat the #3 team in the land.

You guys are forgetting one here....

SMU 21, #22 TCU 10

That's no typo, folks. SMU beaten a ranked for the first time in 19 years.

SMU over the same team that beat Oklahoma in Norman last week?? Wow. I guess this means OU really sucks this year.

Vanderbilt 24, Wake Forest 20. (at Wake Forest)

Vanderbilt 28, Arkansas 24. (at Arkansas)

'Dores are 2-0 for the first time since 1988. They've won 2 road games in a row for the first time since 1999. They've won their conference opener on the field for the first time since 1990 (the 1993 game against Alabama that they lost was later given to Vandy as a forfeit).

And - their next five games are at home. Is it too much to think that Vanderbilt could be bowl-eligible for the first time since 1982?

And that OU/Tulsa game was much closer than the final score indicates. AP saved the Sooners again. I smell Mack Brown getting a win at the Red River Shootout (oops sorry, can't call it a shootout anymore, lest I offend the sponsors), which turns my stomach (Mack's sudden departure from Chapel Hill forced an unsuspecting Tar Heel Nation to endure the Carl Torbush Era, where a team ranked as high as #4 in the land suddenly became bottom-feeders, from which we still are recovering, and slowly at that).

Ohio over Pitt is HUGE. Why is Pitt even playing that game? It's like fighting your little sister - if you beat her, it's not a big deal; if you lose, you'll never hear the end of it.

Most impressive upset would be ND going into the Big House and beating Michigan; it would've been TCU over Oklahoma, but I think Oklahoma's going to be revealed as frauds this year.

Looking at their schedule, I think 6-5 is a good possiblity.

Heck, Vandy is going to win the SEC and then beat Southern Cal in the Rose Bowl.

I think so, they still play in the SEC, the toughest conference in college football, year in and year out. I love the Commodore head logo though!!!

[HatCityEnforcer]

Biggest one of the year so far is Ohio U beating Pitt...I mean, jeez...Ohio U hasn't been to a bowl game in nearly 40 years and they've had about 3 winning seasons since the 60s...

Pitt played like plop all game long (even on that drive where they tied it up, they weren't that impressive) and Ohio U was keyed up seeing it was their home opener, their first time ever on national TV, and they also have a pretty decent coach (that Frank Solitch ain't too bad with a clipboard last time I checked)...

Think maybe Pitt should have thought twice about letting Walt Harris go?

Congrats, Wannstedt, you've made the Big East officially into a two team race between Louisville and West By Gawd Virginny....and teams like Syracuse, UConn, and Rutgers are thankful for the fact that you can't coach your way out of a paper bag despite the talent ya got there...means those schools have a legit shot at a bowl berth when it might have been a bit doubtful

Not quite, but it's not unforseeable that they could end up squaring off against Nebraska in the Independence Bowl.

Speaking of Nebraska, good for their former HC Frank Solich and the Ohio upset of Pitt.
