After the upset by Appalachian state, are the 1-A schools looking at their "easy wins" with just a little bit of nervousness now?
Is the fact that the BCS (1-A) teams play easy schedules and get invites to bowl games hurting 1-A ball?
Are the 1-AA teams getting better because they actually have to scrap to win their divisions and win real playoff games?
I'd love to see the UMass Minutemen beat BC later this year. As the Minutemen lost to Appalachian State in the championship game last year, that may just be a possibility.

Very true!!!
Memphis almost beat Ole Miss, too. (Final 23-21)

I think Appalachian State treated that game like a champsionship game while Michigan treated it like a tune-up practice game. Amongst the many big teams who scheduled cupcakes for their openers, Michigan chose poorly. It doesn't mean that they're all capable of upsetting a powerhouse team, but the chances are growing slightly.

It's kinda looking that way more and more.
I think that it's GR8 for the game of college football.

No, just Michigan.

Definitely...I think more and more these days ALL of college football is getting tighter and tighter. Players want to play, that's why you see people from USC, Miami, Florida St., etc. transferring out of the system to lower tiered schools just to get playing time.
It's only going to get harder for the BCS and college football in general to keep lower tiered teams out of the bigger bowls. Again, old subject, but perhaps someday a playoff system will be put into place. There are a lot of great football programs that can play with the "Big Boys". Look at the past bowl games, there are many games that are won by so called "Mid-Major" conferences. I'm sure within the past "1-AA" there are many that can and will put a scare into the BCS. Sure they may not will them all, but will make for a great game to watch.
If only the Media, Analysts, and Coaches would get over themselves, maybe we would for once get to see the "best" college football teams winning the National Championship.

Well just look at Bobby Bowden of Florida State said in an interview. He basically said the top tier teams have actually stayed the same when it comes to players and getting recruits but with some many kids out there they can't take them all of offer them scholarships so they jump to another school to start instead of being a backup at his school for 2 or 3 years when they can immediately start somewhere else like in JuCo or other DIV 1A, DIV 1AA, or DIV II schools and still get s great shot at the NFL

I would have to agree with you because D-1AA Teams do have more to do and get to play for a championship. However, you will likely not see teams like U-Mass beat Boston College but games could be super close. If you are looking for a upset like today, I advise you to wait until NDSU plays Minnesota. Last year the Golden Gophers escaped with a win.
What do you think? Answer below!
