In recognition of Vandy’s win over Alabama….
In the history of the AP College Football Poll, an unranked team has defeated the #1 ranked team forty times.
Stanford has done it once.
Who was the opponent?

Yep. 1990 - Stanford 36 Notre Dame 31
Ah, yes - now riddle me this (easy) followup, what's the "Who's you're daddy?" connection in play between that game and Saturday's?
Notre Dame's quarterback that day was Rick Mirer...father of Charlie Mirer, Stanford's 6'6" Junior quarterback.

The Padres tied a record with six home runs against the Dodgers (go Pads!).
What previous teams have hit six home runs in a game?

Should clarify that the record is in a playoff game, and we are looking for the two teams to have hit six home runs in a playoff game before the Padres. Hint, both were within the last 10 years.

No takers?
Previous 6 homer playoff games: 2023 Phillies and 2015 Cubs, both ironically enough in game 3 of the NLDS; Padres did it in Game 2 of the NLDS.

Yeah, I looked it up thinking it was someone who played Cinci in their micro field but it wasn’t … and I had disqualified myself.
In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.
