This article discusses major upsets in college football bowl games, highlighting the Michigan Wolverines' victory over Alabama Crimson Tide.
There's something about a shocking upset in a bowl game that captures even the most casual college football fan's attention. NCAA aficionados watched one of the biggest stunners in bowl game history Tuesday, as the Michigan Wolverines pulled out a 19-13 ReliaQuest Bowl win over an Alabama Crimson Tide team that entered as 16.5-point favorites.

Long before college football and legal sports betting both exploded in popularity, upsets weren't celebrated quite as dramatically – but the Razorbacks' shocking Orange Bowl win over the powerhouse Sooners still owns the distinction as the largest upset in terms of spread. for violating team rules – and two, running back Ben Cowins and wide receiver Donny Bobo, combined to score 25 regular season touchdowns. No superstars? No problem: The Razorbacks forced No. 2 Oklahoma into four turnovers while getting a pair of ground scores from rusher Roland Sales to complete the shocker.Neither team set their respective conferences on fire, but it surprised no one that the Ohio State Buckeyes were massive favorites since they were still a ranked team. Their Air Force Falcons opponent finished a disappointing sixth out of nine in the Western Atlantic Conference. However, Ohio State looked disjointed from the start, managing just a field goal and a safety over the first three quarters – while the Falcons eventually turned to their top-tier rush attack to break things open as quarterback Rob Perez ran in a pair of scores as part of a 92-yard ground performance. Cornerback Carlton McDonald then put the game away with a 40-yard interception return as Air Force secured its fifth bowl win all-time. Perez won Liberty Bowl MVP honors despite completing just one pass on three attempts for a total of 11 yard
