I like this list... some of my personal favorites
8. Laura Gambucci -- Tempe aerobics instructor, 1986
Hated by: Miami.
Claim to Infamy: Derailed Hurricanes championship. When the top-ranked, undefeated Canes swaggered into Tempe in December 1986 to play Penn State in what at the time was hyped as the biggest college football game ever, they were led by Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Vinny Testaverde. While in Tempe, Testaverde met Gambucci, fell in love and -- if you judge by the box score from that Fiesta Bowl -- completely lost focus. Testaverde was intercepted five times and the Nittany Lions scored a shocking 14-10 upset to win the national title. Testaverde went on to marry Gambucci in 1988. They were divorced in 1989.
14. Kickers -- Florida State, 1987-2004
21. Urban Meyer -- Florida coach, 2005-present
Hated by: All of SEC, with special antipathy in Georgia and some guy named Charlse
They could have just lumped Meyer, Spurrier, Tebow and the Gator nation together in one.

They all need separate entries. They all suck.
