UPDATE: Teams that have lost as ranked teams to unranked

teams since the last time Clemson did.
I wasn't going to update the List this week, even though the Tigers added their 37th straight win over an unranked team, because it's becoming moot but there were so many ranked teams that lost again this week I wanted to update it out of my own curiosity and I thought others would be interested as well.
#7 Stanford made their 5th appearance on the List, losing a close one to Oregon.
#9 LSU was dominated in "Deaf Valley," at night, by an Arkansas team that lost at home to Toledo and Tex Tech. #SEC. LSU has now made 5--count 'em, FIVE--appearances on the List!
#10 Utah made its second appearance this year, losing to Arizona.
#19 UCLA lost to Washington St, tying their cross-town rival, the Real USC, with the record for 6 total appearances on the list!
They should call it Pac-12ing because the West Coast teams are by far the most frequent offenders. UCLA, USC, and Stanford alone have appeared a staggering 17 combined times.
And finally, #22 Temple got spanked by USF for their first appearance on the list. By my count, that brings our total to 54 Teams who have dropped games to unranked teams since November '11. Congrats, Owls, you're in good company, just not with Clemson.
GO TIGERS!!!
Here's the full alphabetical list:
Arizona Arizona St. (4) Arkansas (2) Auburn Baylor Boise St. (4) BYU (3) California Cincinnati Duke (2) ECU Florida Fresno St. FSU (2) GT (2) Kansas St. LA Tech Louisville (4) LSU (5) Marshall Memphis Miami (2) Michigan (2) Michigan St Missouri (2) Miss St. Nebraska (3) Northwestern(2) Notre Dame (2) Ohio Ohio State University, An Oklahoma (2) OK State (3) Ole Miss (4) Oregon (2) Oregon St. (2) Pitt Rutgers (2) Stanford (5) TCU (2) Texas (2) TAMU Temple Tex Tech (3) Toledo (2) UCLA (6) UGA (3) USC (real one) (6) USuCk (2) Utah (2) VT (3) Washington Wisconsin (5) WVU (3)

How long before the narrative changes

To, "See the SEC and PAC are so powerful that their unranked teams keep knocking off their ranked conference mates."
It seems a logical progression of perceived bias. When one conference has lower level teams knocking off upper level teams it's a sign of depth. When another has the same thing happen it's a sign that the upper level teams aren't as good.

Thanks to acevans, here it is by conference:
Nov 17, 2015, 12:12 PM

Pac-12 10 different teams, total of 30 times SEC 10 teams, 22 times Big-12 8 teams, 17 times ACC 7 teams, 16 times Big 10 7 teams, 16 times American 4, 4 Ind. 2, 5 M. West 2, 5 Mid. Am 2, 3 C. USA 2, 2
Interestingly in the BIG 12 and the PAC-12, all but 2 of their teams appear (all but 4 in the SEC). Although I guess you could make the argument that this list would be biased toward those who are ranked most often.
Thanks again acevans. I'm not trying to hijack your thread. I just wanted to credit your data.
