A panel of 98 writers and sportscasters selected Southern Methodist’s 32-28 upset of Navy as the 1963 season’s top upset. SMU, led by a standout performance from John Roderick, defeated the second-ranked Midshipmen in Dallas, halting Navy’s 10-game success run and capping an 8-1-1 year for the Mustangs.
