This is using GFEI defined here: GFEI Game Ratings are the opponent-adjusted single game data used to produce overall FEI team ratings. Adjustments factor in home field advantage and the strength of the opponent. Each team table includes the game result (Final), game location (Site), opponent FEI team ranking (OF), opponent OFEI offense ranking (OO), and opponent DFEI defense ranking (OD). Game ratings for offense (OFEI), defense (DFEI), and overall (GFEI) include the national rank and percentile (Pct) of each game performance. The weight (GW) each GFEI rating receives in the FEI formula is a function of the relative strength of the team and its opponents.

I don't know exactly what that stuff means, but I do know, that was the best game we played all year.
 
It was perfect timing for the program, especially for national perception and recruiting. When you dominate the #3 team (esp when it's hated ND) on ABC primetime and everyone's watching, it's something people remember. And it did a lot to reverse years of negative talk about our stadium environment. To anyone watching, Hard Rock looked like a crazy loud intimidating fun place to play.

Yes, and IMO it should clearly be Iowa over Ohio State at number one. That works in two logical criteria above Miami/Notre Dame.

Iowa was a 21 point home underdog and won by 31. The Canes were 3.5 point underdog and won by 33.

Also, Iowa was tied for 45th in preseason consensus yet routed #2 preseason Ohio State.

Miami was above Notre Dame by the same measure. The Canes were 17th to Notre Dame's 28th. So if you throw away all the mirrors and distractions that game can be argued as not an upset at all. There is no way to categorize Iowa over Ohio State as anything but a huge upset.

It's not just an expectations game, it's also how efficiently you executed within that game.
