LOL, Robin7 is having the honours of doing CO2's "upsets list" duty.

For example GWJ bt LY, WC bt PHY.
According to WR it is, as you know, the list follows WR, as everyone will have different opinions as to whether it's upset or not according to form, skills, etc,etc :
Weijie GONG (WR# 69) - Yi LU (WR#34) : 22-20 21-15
There's another CHina MS player by the name of Li Yu. WR# 124
Chen Wang - Hongyan Pi [6] : 17-21 21-13 21-12 is
WR# 8 beat WR# 6, minor upset
And there's also one that's not in the list = Xu Chen/Zhao YUnlei beating Tan Wee Kiong/Woon Khe Wei as Xu Chen/ZHao for some weird reason are not in the BWF list, only Xu Chen/Zhao Ting Ting, XU Chen/Pan Pan are.

pity kak...always need to stand out to make it clear...
It is pretty hard to quantify on what accurately constitutes an upset. Ranking is one way to quantify (i.e. lower-rank beat higher-ranked = upset). But it's not terribly accurate at times. And it's not easy to give a good indicative ranking to scratch pairs.
So, it turns out that for most of us, gut-feeling is the way to go. Even recent results would not help. Example: Lin Dan was amazing in recent weeks. Suddenly, on match day, he got he flu, and lost to Lee Chong Wei. Upset? I don't think so, unless it's the stomach upset variety.
Sometimes, it's pretty easy to spot a non-upset. Just look at the PAW game. Wang Lin [11] v Xu Huaiwen [9], and almost to the last PAWer, chooses Wang Lin. Upset ranking-wise yes, but upset in the minds of the people, no.
