If I recall correctly Ryan Mallett started that ND-MICH game in 2007. Think Hart and Henne were hurt and didn't play in the 2007 game.

If you go by point spread Stanford upsetting USC in the Coliseum is the biggest upset in history. USC were 41 point favorites at home, holding a 35 home game winning streak, and Stanford was 1-11 the year before in 2006 and USC destroyed them like 49-0 in '06. Stanford was also starting a 3rd string QB that game and USC was ranked #2 in the AP and #1 in the coaches poll. That to me is the biggest upset ever.

Michigan upset was big and shocking, don't get me wrong, but App State at that point was THE dominant FCS team and had just won the FCS National Title in 2005 and 2006, and they also won it again that year they upset Michigan in 2007. That was a squad that won 3 straight national titles and was just dominant in there division. Michigan absolutely should've beat them at home and they shit the bed horrifically, but there is no way that is a bigger upset than what Stanford did to USC in my mind. Stanford was a program coming off a 1-11 season and starting it's 3rd string QB against USC.

App was very good but they lost to multiple FCS teams that year. Michigan took it up the ass like a week later too. In terms of famous upsets, that one is bigger than the USC one. App State will forever be that team that beat Michigan. James Madison beat a highly rated VA Tech(eventually lost to Stanford in orange bowl I think) but the cool factor was not remotely similar to the App game.

The Stanford win over SC was crazy. I would agree that it was bigger...just not in a popular culture sense. Tavika Pritchard did become a name I'll always vaguely remember. No idea if I spelled it correctly.

well yeah, not saying the App State upset wasn't huge. It clearly was. App State played I think 16 games that year including FCS playoffs. They might've lost two games but they still went 14-2 and won a National Title. It was their 3rd straight. Stanford on the other hand was the absolute worst program in FBS. 1-11 the year before in 2006 and lost like literally 9 or 10 games by 2 TD's or more and had like four 30 point plus losses- and they were starting a 3rd string QB against Pete Carroll's juggernaut SC program.

Henne and Hart went down against Oregon and then they beat the brakes off Michigan. The following week Notre Dame got the brunt of the frustration from Michigan's horrendous start in 2007. They finished that season out strong and beat the #11 ranked Florida Gators and the Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow in the bowl game.

Stanford upset doesn't get it's just due. That was a colossal upset. That Stanford team had no business whatsoever pulling that off. It wasn't until Harbaugh's 3rd year in the program and he had 3 recruiting classes wash through until they had even mediocre NFL level talent across the board and were able to secure a winning record.

The Appy State upset will stand for all time.

Search "Biggest upset in college football history." Every one on the front page (That doesn't reference a specific year, like 2015) says it's Appy State over Michigan. So, you guys have that going for you...which is nice.

Come on Tom. You can't compare losing to a FBS power 5 team to an FCS school no matter how good the FCS school is. That Stanford team vs that App state would win 9 out of 10 times.

App state beating Michigan is equivalent to Alabama beating the worst NFL team. It's the same stupid argument that the best college football team could beat an NFL team. We all know there is no way the NFL team would lose and it wouldn't even be close.

Hands down App state beating Michigan is the biggest college football upset in history.

It was also the first FCS team to upset a ranked FBS team, and it was a #5 team to boot. Major historical significance.

The best FCS teams (top 3 or 4 ) any given year are not as bad as that Stanford team. I bet App beats them 7-8 times out of 10.

Ndsu has a winning record against P5, 5-2 overall. Not a single good P5 team...but a couple were okay. Some P5 teams are just not good.

Stop it. That App state had no business beating a #5 team in the country playing at home. If you don't think that's the biggest upset in major college football ever you need your head examined.

Harbaugh is a crazy freak, but the hiring of Don Brown is genius. I was so envious watching him do his thing at BC, but at Michigan, he'll be even better imo. And here we sit with BVG, hoping to not have the opposition put up 35+ on us.

 

[Legacy]

Harbaugh, in his first year as Stanford coach (2007), told the San Francisco Chronicle in May:

"Michigan is a good school and I got a good education there, but the athletic department has ways to get borderline guys in, and when they're in, they steer them to courses in sports communications. They're adulated when they're playing, but when they get out, the people who adulated them won't hire them."

Two posts above yours Certainly magic though.
I'm now going to assume that the coaches behind Harbaugh are also having a snot snack.

 

[koonja]

I watched the first half of their game this saturday. Their OL kind of sucks IMO.

And now we have confirmation, from your own mouth. I knew you were a UofM fan just trolling this whole time. You watched more of that game live than you did ND.

He's been all over Harbaugh's nuts since the hire too. Pitchforks ready!

~2/3 of the posters are too dumb to realize the thread is about who is going to win the game, not who they'd like to see win the game

It looks like Derek Mason has already gotten his mitts on him.

This 8th grader would already be the best QB on the 'dores roster.
