UPDATE 11/10/2015: Teams that have lost as ranked teams
Nov 10, 2015, 9:50 AM

to unranked teams since the last time Clemson did.
I wasn't going to post the List this week since I think it's becoming a moot point but there were a good handful of ranked teams that dropped games this week so I thought people would at least like to see who's on it again and who's been added.
I do have a feeling we're going to emphatically and officially bury the "C-Word" for every idiot who wants to use it this year in Glendale. GO TIGERS!!
#7 and previously-undefeated Michigan State lost to Nebraska on a controversial last-minute TD pass for their first appearance on the List. Congrats Coach Dantonio and the Spartans, you're in good company.
#13 Memphis and current it-coach Justin Fuente got spanked by Navy for their first appearance on the List, prompting Ray Tanner to strike him off the Coots' list of HC candidates, stating "We'll never have a head coach who lost to Navy."
#18 Ole Miss--who beat Alabama, yeah, that Alabama team, no, they're not undefeated despite apparently being the "best" team in the country, they have a loss at home to a now 3-loss team--got beat in a wild OT game by Bert and the Pig Sooies. The SWAG has been tamed for the 3rd time this year and the 4th appearance on the List.
And lastly, #19 Texas A&M was beat by Auburn for their inaugural appearance on the List. I had to triple check that because I swore they had been on it before but I guess all their previous losses have been to overrated-so-inexplicably-ranked SEC West teams and/or Alabama.
For those of you keeping score at home, that's 53 different teams who have lost as ranked teams to unranked teams since the last time Clemson did.
I'm not going to post the full timeline but here's the 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 (4) 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 (4) TCU (2) Texas (2) TAMU Tex Tech (3) Toledo (2) UCLA (5) UGA (3) USC (real one) (6) USuCk (2) Utah VT (3) Washington Wisconsin (5) WVU (3)

talking parity and/or half the teams lost this saturday, it lends credence.
once some folks, they know whom they be, realized this was part of college football and becoming more so each year, the definition of the c-word became a moving target.
if anything might point to a bias, it's been the promulgation of the word & the changing of its definition to meet a need by certain media.

Hey there Ace, have you bounced this off of the list of teams that have been ranked since then?
Nov 10, 2015, 2:29 PM

boring day to do that!
I mean there's only 128 teams in all of FBS and it's pretty safe to say only 65 or so have been ranked in the last 4 years?
I'd be pretty confident in saying only Clemson and Alabama...

This is an incredible list and a job well done.
Now - there actually needs to be 2 more lists to include every team possible: 1. All teams that have never been ranked since CLEMSON lost, so they cannot be included in this game 2. All teams that are like CLEMSON and have been ranked but have not lost to an unranked team since CLEMSON did.
That would be complete and those lists should be forwarded to ESPN.
