Stanford over USC in 2007.
USC was a 41 point favorite. Stanford was 1-3, USC 4-0. Stanford was starting their backup QB.

This was easily the greatest upset in NCAA basketball history. Possibly greatest upset in the history of sports.

Interesting fact about that game is that Richard Sherman was a WR for Stanford and had a crucial 4th down catch on 4th and 20 on the game winning drive.

USC was actually "only" a 39 point favorite.

And that record for CFB actually got beat just this season when 45 point favorite UNLV lost to FCS Howard University, led by a true freshman QB named Caylin Newton. Caylin has an older brother that also plays QB and Caylin looked a lot like big bro in his college debut going 15 of 26 passing for 190 yards and 1 TD, and adding another 190 rushing yards and 2 TD on 21 carries. If Caylin was 3-4 inches taller he would have been a big time prospect
