2016 #5 LSU vs Wisconsin in Green Bay. LSU was favored by 10 pts. Since this was played on a (somewhat) neutral field, we have to go back all the way to September 25th, 2008, where #1 USC lost at Oregon St as 26 pt favorites. This was a repeat upset of 2006 when Oregon State beat #3 USC in a late October game as heavy underdogs as well.
The last time a top 5 SEC team lost on the road to an unranked opponent on the road before October was in 2000 when #3 Alabama lost the opener at unranked UCLA. That same year on September 30th, #3 Florida lost at Mississippi St 35-47.
The last time Georgia lost as a Top 5 team on the road to an unranked opponent before October was in 1981 as #4 @ Clemson. Vince Dooley was the Head Coach, and Derek Dooley is now the OC at Mizzou.
The last time Mizzou beat a Top 5 team at home as an unranked squad, well nope never happened. Last time we beat a ranked team at home while unranked was #21 Texas in 2011. That was a 11 AM kickoff. Best upset was #10 Nebraska in 2003. Closest was 1997 Nebraska. Came close twice in 1979 vs Nebraska and Oklahoma. 1974 Arizona St was #7 and 1972 Colorado was #7 that lost to an unranked Mizzou.
