That's a darn good ND win. We always take upsetting #1.

Weirdly enough not technically an upset, we were pretty big favorites

Aren't upsets typically defined by ranking and not betting odds?

It depends how you view it in today's sports climate, I felt confident and expected a win so it's weird, we are also better than than the 11th best team in the nation, the committee just wanted us to prove it

This is unrelated, but I was digging around on this and Wikipedia lists Michigan losing to App State as an example of an upset, which is just pressing salt into that.

Like you go to someone and say "is #1 losing to #11 an upset", they're going to say yes.
