Biggest Upsets of the 2021 College Football Season 

Just wanted to clarify that these games are based on how we perceived the teams going into the game. For example, even though Baylor ended up being better than Iowa State in 2021, we did not know that was the case when the two teams played. Also, I did not take the betting favorite into too much consideration. Utah was favored over Oregon, but I think it would be ridiculous to not include that game in a biggest upsets video as Utah was ranked way lower and they knocked third ranked Oregon out of the playoff race. I apologize if you disagree with the way I chose what games were included. That being said, I’m not perfect so let me know if there’s any games you think I should have included that were left out!

Texas's own recruits filming and mocking the Longhorns while Kansas celebrated in their stadium was amazing.

The fact that we have 35 minutes of upsets shows how great this season was

Western Michigan beating Pitt was one of the most surprising looking back at it

The Jacksonville State beating Florida State upset is honestly funny because the record showed J. State as 0-2 and FSU as 1-1. Should of been the other way around.

Seeing my North Texas Mean Green go from 1-6 to 6-6 and beating an undefeated team was pretty great, if only we could have gotten the bowl win. Our team was just one dimensional offensively, and we desperately need a good QB!

Purdue beating a top 3 team twice in the same season was very impressive especially for their standards

As a Purdue fan getting to witness two top 5 upsets this year was amazing and I got to storm the field for the first time ever after the Michigan State win

I'm glad you included UAB's upset win over BYU in the Independence Bowl. I don't think anyone outside of Birmingham, AL, picked the Blazers to upset a highly-favored Cougars team, but for a program that was terminated just a few years ago, I think they earned a bit more respect after that win.

As Josh Pate put it so eloquently, “renaissance season is coming” and it sure was!!

As a Jayhawk fan, I will take that win over Texas with a happy heart and look back on our season with that game as the highlight

Alright I get it y’all are angry I put Vanderbilt in the video. They were 21 points underdogs and lost to an FCS team for the first time ever but I will never include Vandy in an upset video again unless they’re the ones winning. Now please just dislike the video and keep scrolling folks 💯

Man this season was the second craziest season right behind 2007 but the craziest I’ve ever witnessed with upsets left and right once Nc state beat Clemson it all started from there

Coming from a dawgs fan, here are the moments of CFB that made me think, “I forgot that actually happened!”: Iowa was ranked #2 in the nation at one point. Purdue continues to be that one team you don’t wanna play. We all knew Clemson was gonna be trash. Oregon fans were the most heartbroken out of any fanbase after going from #3 team in the country, to being upset twice, and losing their bowl game.

In a parallel universe Nebraska is on here at least 4 times

Thanks for putting this together. It is fun to be able to relive the college football season for a little bit like this. The way this season was with teams going up and down some of these in the end maybe werent upsets but like I said it is fun to be able to watch this video

USC football in 2007: “We’re winning against Stanford” Stanford football in 2007: I don’t think so Years later.. USC football 2021: “We’re winning against Stanford” Stanford football 2021: “I don’t think so again”

Arkansas blowing out Texas will always be the highlight of my day. Such a incredible season for arkansas.

This last season has got to be one of if not the craziest seasons since 2007. If Kansas had been able to pull off the upset of Oklahoma as well it would've been the craziest for sure.

This season has been insane: MSU (Mississippi) beaten about 5 ranked teams Oregon beating Ohio State Michigan finally beating Ohio state NC state beaten Clemson finally Kentucky football was 10-3 this season which was mind blowing Texas A&M beat Bama Georgia finally won their national championship Arkansas is finally back in the football talk leading the season with 9-4 Texas and OU announce they will be going to SEC Bowling green beating Minnesota Pittsburgh won ACC conference championship Ole miss being 10-3 which feels like forever since they were ranked and good. Utah vs Ohio state was a battle of the year San Diego was actually good stopping at 12-2 UTSA was fucking awesome at being undefeated majority of the season Cincinnati being first non-power 5 conference team making it to the playoffs while being 12-0. Ranked #4 first time in school history. Wake forest was fucking amazing this season being 4th time of the season that was unexpected 11-3. Kanas beating Texas! Montana beating Washington UC Davis beating Tulsa Michigan State was scary this season finishing up as 11-2. Purdue slaughtering ranked teams. Western Kentucky breaking passing records with its QB. Jacksonville beating Florida state North Dakota state winning FCS national championship for the 9th time! Couple of FCS schools moving to FBS! Notre dame HC moving to LSU Army vs Navy was a nail biter UCLA beating LSU West Michigan beating Pittsburgh Illinois and Penn back and forth match Utah surprise win against Oregon.

My favorite part about these types of videos is seeing teams on both sides. That’s what makes college football so awesome. If you can do it to someone, that means someone can do it to you

Reliving the 2021 season, what a great season it was.. thank you for this video.. something to watch during the boring off-season lol

PSC, thank you for showing great moments of this college football season. 2021 was a hard year for everyone. I wish you a spetacular offseason. I see you on August or September. :)

You just gained a subscriber keep up the content

One of my favorite vids of the year

These be da best college football games on Saturday and that is straight facts and I totally love da upsets on Saturday of college football games straight facts 💯

Great post....good collection of games

I love how this was such a weird year for college football, that there were enough upsets for a half an hour video

I totally love all these college football games and that is straight facts 💯

11/27/21 was a great day for Michigan football, being apart of the crowd rushing the field, the snowfall and just seeing the replay of the end of "The Game " is so awesome.

The N.C State was one of my favorites this season such a good game and such a great throw and catch to win the game. Love watching the underdogs win.

I was really expecting the Mississippi State vs Auburn game to be here too, but the fact that we had two upsets appear in this video showed how crazy a year we had. I am really excited for this upcoming season, it looks like it’ll be a lot of fun. Hail State!

Crazy a cant wait for next season

Purdue is the king of top ten upsets

These are some great game to watch

I was at that Virginia Tech/ West Virginia game, never should have game down to 4th and goal, but... the loudest that stadium got was on the 4th and goal stand. Gives me chills thinking about it!! Plus it was the day Western Michigan beat pITT, all around GREAT day to be a Mountaineer!!

20:28 Hey, the ULM Warhawks finally make a good compilation video! Only 4-8 this season but we're looking forward to some better times ahead with Coach Bowden.

As a Clemson fan, that loss to NC State was tough, but with the way the team had played up to that point, I had already accepted the fact that it was going to be a rebuilding year. Still, the Wolfpack proved how good they were as the season progressed, especially in their season finale against the Tar Heels, so they earned my respect as a college football fan.

Wait, winning against Vanderbilt can be considered an upset?? 🤔

14:54 This was particularly hilarious because, as it turns out, this would be Stanford's last win of the season, against the then-3rd ranked Oregon Ducks. Both of their other victories were road wins, over Vandy and USC.

The energy at the Utah vs Oregon game is something I will never forget! Sko Utes!

Great video idea!!

Crazy season

I’m never going to stop making fun of Texas for losing to Kansas lol that was hilarious GO DAWGS! ❤️🖤💯🏈🐶

I love that UAB got to be the last one. After all that talk from BYU about not being in a bigger bowl game. We showed them didn't we? Go blazers!!!

As a UC Davis fan I found our season quite amazing especially the win over Tulsa :)

You should have included Southern Miss' win over Louisiana Tech. USM beat them 35-19, this is an upset mainly because USM did not even have a QB. They used running backs the whole game. Pretty much was every play was in the wildcat formation. The Head coach called it the super back. They did run it just about every play, but did manage to throw a few passes here and there.

One upset that was very nearly had was actually in the FCS. Incarnate Word was one solid _inch_ away from taking down #1 Sam Houston State on the road in a 49-42 offensive airshow. It would've been their biggest win in program history, I believe.

34:00 McBride vs everyone

What a crazy season🔥

As a Husker fan, thanks for not putting the Illinois game in there. We had a hard enough year.

That jsu upset was wild.

2021 was definitely a wild year for College Football. It's definitely up there with 2007.

Crazy looking back, a lot of these teams didn’t deserve those rankings even before the losses. Florida at 10, Iowa at 2 to name a couple. Those are laughable.

This was a crazy year!! Especially for my longhorns :(

so many good memories

6:05 the people walking away with their mouth hanging open lmaoo

gotta love the teams that are on here multiple times, and on both sides of the upset 😂

Weird how many fcs upsets there were. Montana has got to be one of the biggest upsets despite washington sucking this year.

I had to come back and revisit the 2021 season, cause it was sooooo wild & fun. I'm really surprised Texas at Arkansas didn't make this video; especially the way the Razorbacks dominated that game. No one would've thought that the Hogs were gonna do that in Week 2 against a Top 15 team, after all they had been through the 4 years prior.

Great video! But I would have included Army-Navy

As a TAMU fan I can say we did pretty bad this year but that one win over Alabama lasts longer than a season.

Anyone who looked at Iowa knew they had some major offensive problems. How they managed to upset Penn St is beyond me. The only reason they made it to the top 5 is due to a weak schedule and a bunch of higher teams being knocked out. I was surprised they stayed unbeaten for so long.

PRICELESS!!! Florida State cheerleaders reaction Simply epic priceless incredible

Man. For BYU fans, that victory over Utah was absolutely huge. I can't undersell how seriously we took that with how long we'd gone without a victory over Utah

6:02 was so crazy that they accidentally said that fsu won with the record beside their name

It seemed like there were a lot more upsets this past year than normal. It was also kind of funny seeing so many teams who won in an upset later losing in their own upset lol

this makes me happy and sad happy it was great year for 2021 collage football but sad with all the realignment going on in collage football we are not going to see this anymore only with just 30 teams in the future enjoy this now went we still have it

Can we get a highlights of this years bowl season? Awesome stuff! Only maybe missed bedlam because Ok State hardly ever wins that game.

6:08 the look of those two's face of disbelief is incredible. I don't remember a shock that big. Woof.

I'm an TAMU Aggies fan so this was a happy and sad video for me

Bowling Green over Minnesota biggest upset of 21. BG was 30 point underdogs and beat a team that nearly knocked off ohio state in week one and denied Wisconsin big ten title game appearance in regular season finale.

That North Texas RB pulled off some nice Barry Sanders moves to avoid getting tackled in the backfield and ends up getting a touchdown. That was some sick moves, not gonna lie.

That blazers-byu game made my UAB heart happy

As an Oklahoma state fan this season was similar in a few ways to the 2011 season enjoyed the ride though!

KU - Texas was legendary. So fun to watch

I was at the VT WVU game. Loudest crowd I’ve ever heard.

6:00 notice how the score keeper didnt want to give florida st a 0-2 record so he made it 1-1 for a moment

I was at the WVU-VT game it was so chaotic in the stands

How about Central Michigan beating Washington State after switching bowl game?

That UK vs. Florida game was so insanely tense. UK held them in the red zone for like 12 drives

6:27 Oh, that was best moment for BYU. I am still surprised about how they finally broke the Utes' winning streak in the Holy War!

Northern Illinois beating Georgia Tech was awesome.

What a crazy year.

Can you make one like this “most exciting games of the 2021 season”? I feel like there were a lot of them and would be fun to see them all in one video.

Are we gonna get another 'There goes your playoff chances' compilation soon? There are still a few games from the past you can include with this year's batch

Next you should do group of 5 teams beating power 5 teams.

Apalachee State game against coastal Carolina was a officiating blunder to be kind. Not sure how much money was exchanged but there must have been a hell of a lot.

As Georgia bulldog fan it was a great year . But I love watching Purdue upsets I hope they get better and better for here on out

Renaissance Season for sure

As an Oregon fan, I do not miss Mario Cristobal fumbling away the Stanford game and the Utah games. He can get Miami featured multiple times per season in this sort of video from now on.

Despite a disastrous season for my Tar Heels the win over Wake Forest was a game I will never forget

26:08 not related to an upset but those TCU unis are 🔥

Iowa State Cyclones upset on Oklahoma State was awesome.

imo a #12 team beating a #3 team shouldn't really be considered an upset.

Got no dog in the fight, but 25:08 I never realized that UNC got away with offsides on their crucial pick against Wake. I doubt that that was the deciding factor, but momentum and whatnot lmao

I love college football.💯

FINALLY someone includes TCU Baylor. Everyone apparently forgot that game happened!!!

26:07 Thank you for including TCU over Baylor.

I was at the Utah vs Oregon game
