Top 10 College Football Teams Who Were Deemed Invincible Like Kentucky in Basketball But Lost
The reason behind this drastic switch was because of the team Florida blew out. Ohio State had run the table as the No. 1 team in the country and had a Heisman Trophy winning quarterback in Troy Smith after having an extremely strong finish in 2005.
