    7-0 lead against Bama

    I’ve hung that banner.
    I wish I died as soon as the ref made the signal.

    Neither of the USC teams being mentioned as "upsets" turned out to be good. How about a win against a team that finished top-15 at the end of the year?

    The "11-2, top 10 team"in 2018 finished, well, tenth.

    Stanford finished 12th in 2016 though UW was favored in that game.

    The last combination of a big upset (like a bigger spread than 3 points) of a team that finished ranked highly was probably the Gameday Championship win over 2012 Stanford that @greenblood referenced.

    It sounds bad but those are pretty specific parameters and I doubt there's very many of those a year.

    Beating Cuog never counts as an upset.
    The ruling on the field is that it was a backwards pass, Washington has recovered that pass, the game is over

    I was looking through some things to see about some bowl upsets. It only went back to the mid 80's. UW would have been the underdog in 60,61, and 78 though

    Big favorites in 91,92, and 93

    Hard to believe but the big win over Drew Brees and the Purdue squad was an upset. Purdue -1

    And coogs say we didn't beat anyone

    Not as hard to believe as WSU being 5 point favorites against Oklahoma in 2002 (Coogs lost by 20).
