That explains the Central Michigan upset of Oklahoma St. at #2.
Good point!

Without that loss Frost probably survives the season and doesn't get fired until after the Iowa game. We might miss out on Rhule as well.I could not care less about the ugly losses of those other teams. Our loss however to Georgia Southern was a real low point for Frost and the Huskers. I was stunned not that we lost to them but in the way we lost to them at home. It was an outrageous display of disgraceful ineptitude imo. I still get cranked up just thinking about that game.
Appalachian State was FCS, not G5, when they became the first FCS team to beat a ranked FBS school in 2007. Worst P5 losses to FCS teams would be a different list.
Several games on Top50 worst, not an upset IMO .....
I can think of a lot worse losses than on this list.
And really they should be number 1. Not because App State was not a good team that year but because this was the first major blow to the power 5 conferences.I would have thought Mechicken-Appalachian State would have made the list?

It was certainly the breaking point. The Northwestern loss you could try and justify because it was a conference game, and you hoped Northwestern had just improved from last season. The North Dakota game was way too close for the first three quarters, but we managed to put it together in the fourth to make it seem better than it was. I was honestly nervous going into the Georgia Southern game because of how poorly we looked against ND. The Georgia Southern game was the final straw. I was in the camp of keeping Frost until the Indiana game because of the buyout, but after that loss was onboard with him being gone ASAP.Without that loss Frost probably survives the season and doesn't get fired until after the Iowa game.

Whew, barely won against McNeese Cowboys

I would agree that it is the #1 upset in college football history (again, not what this list was supposed to determine). The biggest reason was that Michigan was ranked #5 at the time. App State was the best of the best in the FCS at the time, but Michigan was being talked about as a possible BCS champion. For them to lose at home, with that hype, against a FCS team, will be something we may never see again. It'd be fun if we did (as long as it isn't Nebraska), but college football isn't set up for that caliber of upset.And really they should be number 1. Not because App State was not a good team that year but because this was the first major blow to the power 5 conferences.
I have no idea how there are not six entries from CU on there. They lose to potatoes all the time.
We can speculate all we want but if SF and NU would have gotten TO the Indiana game 2-2 ... with Rutgers and Purdue lined up after Indiana, I think ADTA would have ridden the Frost train out till the end of the year.It was certainly the breaking point. The Northwestern loss you could try and justify because it was a conference game, and you hoped Northwestern had just improved from last season.

Perhaps fortunately, his first game against the Akron Zips got cancelled, otherwise there might be a fourth on the list.Three in the what I will refer to as the Bottom 20
