Couldn’t happen to a better team — both the winner and the LOSER!

Woo Hoo! Michigan probably took these guys too lightly and would pound them in a rematch but App State is a 2 time national champion and they showed it today!

There is already a post on this. Why do it again?

There's no reason Michigan isn't an elite team, capable of at least competing with Florida, USC, etc.

Well, there is one reason.

Lloyd Carr.

Congratulations to APP, from a lifelong U of M fan.

Go Blue Blew!

I personally believe, U.S. Appalachian State was inspired by the fact Miss South Carolina Teen plans to attend the school- such as.

LOL. I forgot she’s attending App State. She’ll lower the average IQ there but she’ll definitely improve the scenery!

Someone should really start a weekly thread on FR that deals with all the college football games played during that particular week.

There’s a NASCAR thread that runs from Monday til race day. Someone could start a college football ping list if one isn’t already in existence. I know there’s an NFL ping list.

ASU alum here-class of 1991. Watched the game on the Big Ten network on DirectTV.

Hey, how about those Apps? This is almost as big as the two national titles. But now we have to try to threepeat. If we would have lost today, but won the national championship-then we wouldn't be disappointed. However, if we don't win another title after this-it will be a huge disappointment.

Ia this going to wreak havoc on the ratings of various teams for bowl games in a few months? Because Michigan losing to this team will make Michigan not a very good opponent according to the formula, so all the teams that play Michigan won’t be rated as high.

Yeah, this is going to scramble things a bit. When the polls come out I’m not sure UM will still be in the top 20.

Speaking as a Wisconsin Badger fan, I,m not going to get tired of hearing about this Michigan loss anytime soon!

I guess this means Michigan is out of the Subdivision national championship picture.

I just think the big Ten, that doewsn’t even know how many teams they have in their league, is the most over rated conference in the country.

Agree. The SEC is much tougher.

Have to admit the SEC is the best this year. But look out for the Big East. Who would have thought that five years ago?
