Curse of the #2

This college football season five #2 ranked teams have been upset. This isn't your matchup of a #2 vs. another top ranked team; instead, it is a matchup of a solid #2 team with a very unmatched opponent. The opponent usually isn't even ranked.

When week 6 of the college football season approached nobody expected USC to be dethroned of their #2 ranking by unranked Stanford. However, Stanford put a halt to USC's 35-game home win streak and USC's quest for a perfect season. Stanford 24, #2 USC 23

A week later (week 7), Oregon St. tried to do the same to #2 California. They were able to knock out Cal with another stunning upset of the #2 position. Oregon St. 31, #2 Cal 28

Could this happen three weeks straight. Well, Rutgers faced off with #2 South Florida and quickly ended the good story of the South Florida football team. Rutgers 30, #2 South Florida 27

The streak ended and week 9 saw no #2 upset. However, a potential for a huge upset was in the making for week 10. Florida St. took on Boston College. Matt Ryan couldn't score enough however to continue putting an end to this #2 curse. Florida St. 27, #2 BC 17

Week 12 encountered another #2 upset. The FIFTH #2 upset THIS YEAR. Dennis Dixon's #2 Oregon Ducks faced Arizona's squad. Arizona beat the Ducks partly due to the fact that Dennis Dixon was injured in the first quarter of the game. Either way, the curse of the #2 team continued. Arizona 34, #2 Oregon 24

So, who will be the next #2 to fall? Well, lets consider #2 Kansas this week against #4 Missouri. This could very well be the sixth #2 to fall this year. Let the curse continue...
