Compare this with the Big-12's losses a couple of years ago, which included several last second miracles (i'm thinking of the Georgia State game for one).
In a related thought, it's why Villanova's national championship run was so impressive... they absolutely crushed Iowa, Miami (Fla) and Oklahoma.

Let's not get silly now.
OBE, National Champions 2013, 2014, 2016. No league comes close, including the NBE.

I'd say the Miami, FSU and UVA losses are by far the worst of the bunch, but I don't see 1 or 2 other games that would fit those parameters. All of them lost by at least 20 points and the games weren't even that competitive.
Which other ones did you have in mind?
