No true sustained coverage. Upsets are common in College Football, though this was a significant one at the time. Esolo5002 (talk) 00:10, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

- Delete We don't need a whole article every time there's an unexpected result. Most of this is fluff, and anything meaningful can be covered in the main season article. Reywas92Talk 03:43, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom and Reywas. Individual games can and should be dealt with in the relevant team season articles. Every "big" game or upset doesn't warrant a stand-alone. I'd probably vote to delete 2024 Alabama vs. Vanderbilt football game for the same reasons. Cbl62 (talk) 10:58, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:ROUTINE. Nothing in the article and nothing I've seen in news articles carry the weight of significant coverage necessary for single-game articles in this instance. Conyo14 (talk) 18:00, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete because there’s nothing to suggest it’s historic.38.122.245.52 (talk) 20:39, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: I agree with the above replies, while this was significant, we are not going to make a page for every upset. When Marshall beat Notre Dame two years ago, that was arguably as significant as this, and there is no page for that game.

- Delete: I agree with the sentiment expressed above, a game like Texas—Texas A&M is more significant than a game like this. It correctly has its own page as it was widely covered and hyped as a historic contest, while this is simply a (now flukey) upset by a group of 5 team.
