re: Most embarrassing OOC losses

It's even worse when you consider who those other 5 losses were to (rankings are end of season AP).

#12 Nebraska 31-24
#3 USC 24-14
#7 Notre Dame 7-0
#17 Mississippi State 6-3
#2 Texas 14-12

And Tech's other wins during that 35-game stretch were against:

2-9 Memphis
4-7 William & Mary (1-AA)
2-8-1 Duke
2-9 Air Force
7-4 Navy

They did have a tie against 9-2-1 Notre Dame - in fact, from October of 1980 through the end of 1981, the Jackets went 1-17-1, with their only non-losses coming to two teams that finished in the AP Top 10

Two weeks after they knocked off the Tide, Tech lost at home to Memphis, who also finished 1-10 that year
