>      Through all this A-State/Michigan hoopla I have heard many times it was the biggest upset of all time.  I wondered about that and got to digging.  This guy Don Borst of FoxSports.Com doesn't believe it is number one.  He ranks it number three.

I'm inclined to agree that ASU's win over Michigan isn't exactly the
biggest upset in football history.  (If ASU goes on to win its 3rd
consecutive 1-AA championship and Michigan goes on to something like
an 8-5 season, will people revise their opinions?)

ESPN had a 'rank the upsets' feature running last night, at a guess 
about half of the 'upsets' they listed for you to pick from weren't 
really all that big an upset in the traditional sense of the word, like 
Miami's national championship bowl win over Nebraska when Osborne went 
for 2.  In fact, I think about half of the 'upsets' listed in the Fox
New story cited above weren't on ESPN's list!
