  • App State humbles Texas A&M (2022): A G5 giant slays a loaded Aggies rost in Kyle Field, in a game that helped lead to Jimbo Fisher's ouster a year later.
  • South Carolina’s epic twofer (2022): Shane Beamer’s Gamecocks crush Tennessee and Clemson, two CFP hopefuls, on back-to-back weeks.
  • New Mexico State dominates Auburn (2023): Diego Pavia’s legend grows as the Aggies thrash an SEC foe in a $1.85M buy-game beatdown.
  • Duke stuns Clemson (2023): Riley Leonard and a gritty Blue Devils defense throttle the Tigers 28-7 on Labor Day night, ending a top-10 drought since 1989 and boosting Mike Elko’s A&M profile.
  • Virginia topples North Carolina (2023): A 2-5 Cavaliers squad shocks the #10 Tar Heels 31-27 in Chapel Hill, derailing a 6-0 start and igniting the slow unraveling of Mack Brown’s tenure.
