Needed OU to lose there conference championship game to a crappy K State team. If not the game was OU vs USC.

Really. So that compares to this? Some losses are shocking. Others are ordained by the gods.

========
The 2007 Stanford vs. USC football game was an NCAA college football game held on October 6, 2007, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California. In a remarkable upset, with USC favored by 40 points, the visiting Stanford Cardinal won 24–23. USC entered the game with a 35-game home game winning streak (its previous home game loss also happened to be to Stanford, in 2001) which included a 24-game home game winning streak in Pac-10 play. By contrast, Stanford had compiled a Pac-10 worst 1–11 season in 2006, which included a 42–0 loss to USC. To compound the situation, Stanford's starting quarterback T. C. Ostrander had suffered a seizure the previous week and backup quarterback Tavita Pritchard had never started a game and had thrown just three passes in official play.

The other loss was to Oregon at Autzen. Both LSU and USC had two losses but SC could never get past the Stanford loss at home.

Then Pitt beat WVU in the worst loss in WVU history.
It was so bad that Rich Rod, a WVU alum, felt compelled to leave the program for Michigan.

Yes 2003 was very fortunate - 2007 was a fricking miracle.
