Mt Union - one of the top upsets of all-time?

NCAA-record 112-game winning streak ended in a 31-28 home loss to John Carroll in Alliance, Ohio.
With the victory, John Carroll claimed the Ohio Athletic Conference title for the first time since 1994.
The Purple Raiders were 222-1 in their last 223 games dating back to 1994. They won 110 games from 1994 to 2005, and after an Oct. 22, 2005, loss to Ohio Northern, they rattled off 112 straight wins entering Saturday.
The top-ranked team in D-III, Mount Union (9-1, 8-1) also had won 98 games in a row at home before Saturday's defeat. And this marks the first time in 24 years that it hasn't won the OAC title.

The reverse curse of Cleveland strikes down the Purple Raiders.

This is gonna be more awkward than Gordon Bombay losing it for Coach Jack Reilly with this year's OAC banner not hanging up...

Despite the streak, it's not an all-time upset. John Carroll is pretty good this year, while the conference overall has been down.
D3 Football said Mount would be on the bubble for the playoffs if they were any other team with their strength of schedule.

Then no. Had they had a losing record, maybe.

Still...
It's like De La Salle.
They lost to a nationally ranked team...and played great teams all the time.
Union wasn't playing all scrubs during their streak...and still won.
Opponent current record isn't unique.

No. They lose in the title game all the time. They are not unbeatable, they just play in a crap conference, with 9 of their 10 regular season games against that crap conference. There is 1 or 2 good teams in that conference every year.

I am assuming this streak does not include them losing to Whitewater in the National Championship game over the last few seasons.
