UNL had no business being in that game after the Colorado beating.

Should have been Oregon.

The other one I can recall is Hawaii which was undefeated (playing pastries) getting blown out in the Sugar Bowl.

I don't recall a shocker where A clobbered B and B was considered to be quite elite.

I would have been fine with that.  Perhaps UNL then gets a team they can handle in a bowl (Florida or Tennessee) and finishes with one loss & #2.



but, at the end of the season Oregon had wins over 2 teams ranked in the final poll - just as impressive as Nebraska,, but not real impressive

Miami would have destroyed the Ducks in similar fashion

That would qualify I think.  41-14.  370 yards to 82.

I know this does not match exactly but I keep thinking about how Ohio St gor blown away in 2 straight years in 2017 and 2018 by average Big Ten teams from the Big Ten West

2017
Iowa 55, Ohio St 24

2018
Purdue 49,  Ohio St 20

Ohio St won the Big Ten both years and won the Cotton and Rose Bowls,  finishing #5 and #3 in the polls.  Ohio St both years missed the playoffs basically because of these bizarre losses.  Iowa was 7-5 in 2017 and Purdue was 6-6 in 2018.

And the only reason that anyone gave TCU any kudos that year was beating Michigan, which in hindsight only happened because Michigan forgot to send advance scouts to TCU games. 
What are you talking about?  Everyone knows that the only reason TCU won, according to MDot, is because TCU played “like their hair was on fire “.

Need to look deeper, but that 2019 Clemson team that beat a really good OSU team got really politely dismissed. 

Like, LSU didn’t run away from them, but you at no point thought “Clemson has any chance.” Not obliterated, but outclassed.

One year, Miami vs FSU was the first game of the year.  FSU was preseason #1 and got their heads stomped in 31-0.  1988.

Unrelated, but still interesting---in seeing how Washington ended Miami's 58-game home winning streak (which is pretty well-known), it made me wonder what the streak was before it.
It actually lasted 19 years (instead of almost 10) and yet, was 1 game less than Miami's. 

Sort of a tricky one.

Alabama, under Bear Bryant, won 57 straight games in Tuscaloosa over 19 years.  Remember, they played some home games in Birmingham, at Legion Field.  I believe they always played Auburn there.  

But in all his years at Alabama, Bryant only lost twice in Tuscaloosa:  in the 60s, upset by Florida and then in his last game there, an upset loss to Southern Miss.

This really belongs in the Random Games You Remember thread, but around 1999 Arizona and PSU played. Arizona was highly ranked, like Top 10 or maybe 5, and PSU stomped them hard. I can’t remember the Arizona coach, but he was well known at the time and had been around. Anyways, they fired him at the end of the season and I don’t think Arizona has ever really been very good ever sense. 

For a long time I remember when a highly ranked team got trampled early in the Season we called it getting ‘Zona’d.
