What an upset Indeed. It's being called the college football upset of the century. Appalachian State, a small, division I-AA school located in Boone, North Carolina, is a member of the Southern Conference and has won the last two I-AA national titles(I-AA has a 16 team single elimination playoff annually to detemine its champion). "App State" has been a perennial I-AA playoff team since the 1980's-my alma mater, The Citadel, is also a member of the Southern Conference. The Mountaineers proved that I-AA teams can compete, even defeat the I-A teams(with generally more depth and larger lineman) on any given day. There have already been calls for Michigan head coach Lloyd Carr's ouster, which I think are justified. The Wolverines were clearly not prepared to play well this past Saturday, which is the head coach's responsibility. "josh TX" Things are looking pretty sour now for the Wolverines and I am wondering what is going to happen to their status now. By this weekend they may not even be ranked at all The Wolverines, who were ranked #5 in the nation when they were defeated by Appalachian State, will surely drop to the bottom end of the top twenty, if not out altogether. I expect the Wolverines will bounce back, perhaps win 8-9 games this year. That said their national championship aspirations flew out the window when they lost at home to a I-AA opponent. "josh TX" My local team, the UT Longhorns barely avoided an upset themselves with a marginal win over Arkansas st., 21-13. Next week the have to play TCU who is ranked no. 22. TCU looked promising on Saturday and I can almost smell an upset if the Longhorns dont get their act together Hook em.
