Maybe you think Clemson is a big upset because they played VT.  They didn't, they beat Virginia.  An upset, but within Clemson's reasonable skills.

QuoteArkansas vs. Auburn (Another huge upset)
Hard to say.  Auburn was preseason #1  (grin)

QuoteNebraska vs. Missouri (Terrible upset for the Huskers)
Yay.

QuoteOhio State vs. Wisconsin (Biggest upset of the week)

Most people expected Ohio State to lose to Wisconsin.  I don't know why you think it's an upset.
