when you talk about the top teams in college football since the start of the century, you have to talk about Boise State University. A lot of people know about their famous blue turf and their quick, creative offense. Even casual college football fans can talk like experts about the stunning trick plays that led the Broncos over a heavily favored Oklahoma team in a 2007 bowl game. It is decidedly one of the most dominant programs of the decade. How dominant? Since Boise State joined the Western Athletic Conference in 2001, it had lost just four conference games in 10 years. On Friday night in Reno, it lost its fifth. Boise State came in ranked third in the country and was on track for its third undefeated season in 5 years. It had a shot at the national championship.

And now when you talk about the top upsets in college football, you have to talk about Nevada.
