Oklahoma: 47 games (1953-1957)
USC: 34 (2003-2005) - if USC converts a 4th down and 2 in the Rose Bowl, they extend their win streak next year to 41 games before losing to the Beavers.
Miami (Florida): 34 (2000-2003)
The record has been sniffed.
yeah, the OU record is obviously incredible and Miami's win streak from 2000-2002 was longer than USC's (so I guess Miami's run is more forgotten and less appreciated even among people who fancy themselves aware of recent football history)

For a single game feat:
UF domination of the Ohio State offense in the 2007 BCS Championship Game

The Gators held the Buckeye offense to only 82 total yards for the game, and Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith completed only four passes for 35 yards and an interception. The Gators also dominated in time of possession, limiting the Ohio State offense to just over 19 minutes.

Didn't Jim Bottomly have 18 total bases in a game-4 homers and a double?
Supposedly he just missed 5 HRs as the double was high on the fence

I cannot believe some of the "forgotten" feats being mentioned...Cy Young? Cal Ripken?
David Robinson scoring 71 points in the final game of the 1994/95 season to put the scoring title out of Shaq's reach.

How about Tyrone Horne?
"On July 27, 1998, Tyrone Horne of the Double-A Arkansas Travelers in the Texas League stroked a two-run shot in the first inning, a grand slam in the second, a solo homer in the fifth and finished off the night with a three-run blast in the sixth inning."

Wonder if he was juicing...he is an MD now.

Greatest single game pitching performance.
Harvey Haddix will always be remembered for taking a perfect game into the 13th inning against the Milwaukee Braves on May 26, 1959. Haddix retired 36 consecutive batters in 12 innings essentially relying on two pitches: fastball and slider. However, his Pittsburgh teammates didn't score, as Braves pitcher Lew Burdette was also pitching a shutout.
A fielding error by Don Hoak ended the perfect game in the bottom of the 13th, with the leadoff batter for Milwaukee, Félix Mantilla, being safe at first base. Mantilla later advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Eddie Mathews, which was followed by an intentional walk to Hank Aaron. Joe Adcock then hit an apparent home run, ending the no-hitter and the game. However, in the confusion, Aaron left the basepaths and was passed by Adcock for the second out and the Braves won 2-0. Eventually the hit was changed from a home run to a double by a ruling from National League president Warren Giles; only Mantilla's run counted, for a score of 1-0, but the Pirates and Haddix still lost.
