I just saw that flash over the ESPN ticker during the Army-West Virginia game. I had no idea they had gone that long between victories over a Top 25 team in a bowl game.

Well, they've only been to 23 Bowl games in their entire history, but that is pretty remarkable. They drew some pretty shitty matchups under Dan Mullen.
Miami (OH), Wake Forest, Rice, NC State, etc.

It’s better than the alternative. Also, frick ESPN.

And it was 3-7 team that did it. Thanks 2020!

Interesting, if this had been a normal year Tulsa wouldn’t have even been ranked. I would have thought the ‘99 peach bowl and ‘11 Gator bowl wins were better wins than today.

Our last best chance to pull one off was in 2014. But it was December and Dan was coaching.

I actually thought Louisville in 2017 with Lamar Jackson was ranked but guess not

Michigan, Iowa, Louisville (Lamar Jackson’s last collegiate loss), northwestern, Georgia tech...all opponents we have played in the current 11 season bowl streak. Took L’s vs northwestern, Iowa, and Ga Tech...all of those looked like mullens most recent loss to Oklahoma. Flat and unprepared

And in all those instances there were stories about Dan flirting with other programs at the end of the season. He checked out and each of those teams paid for it.
Reminds me of the NFL rumors and his half arse effort this week.

Even Dan Mullen couldn't do it at MSU!

I saw this stat and thought it was crazy, was Clemson not ranked in 99?

Yea the way they do these stats are not only does the team have to be ranked when you beat them, they have to stay ranked after they lose. I wouldn’t be surprised if Tulsa now falls out of the rankings and this streak continues.

I will be honest. Considering the 80's and 90's, I am perfectly fine with these results. Glad the Moorhead era is over though.

Bowl games are hard to come by for State. Bowls where playing a ranked team even harder. Victories...well you get the picture.
