Wins are wins. UCLA's defense bailed out a supposed Heisman candidate today and West Virginia is giving Alabama all it can handle. Michigan rolled...Michigan State rolled...Minnesota won its opener...Big 10 is undefeated so far in week 1.
As far as "de-railing" a thread, I'm not sure where general NCAA football should be discussed. It's not community, not non-college sports, obviously...we need a new forum somewhere.
These good-to-great FCS teams that "upset" lower-level FBS teams happen with such regularity these days that you almost can't call them "upsets" anymore. Now, Jacksonville State over Michigan State? THAT would have been an upset.
Sounds just like comments by some fans here last year. Before the game, it's "K-State by 40." After the game, it's "worst team in the Big 12. Maybe a 3-4 win season." Iowa State's coach on the hot seat already...
Former FCS team Georgia Southern was also looking good earlier today...
EDITED so as not to single out darell1976.
He doesn't care anymore...Fighting Sioux is dead and that's what was important. He knows that the committee's five choices will be something like this:
Freeze, Northern Lights, Chill, Pink Butterflies, and Glittery Unicorns.
The confusion with that nickname is already showing though...
Is it Roughriders? Rough Riders? Or RoughRiders?
Legitimate question - Miami goes with combined words and the R and H capitalized as RedHawks and UMass-Lowell goes with two separate words as River Hawks. It can be confusing...and annoying.
How about a place for topics like "March Madness" and "NCAA FBS Football"?
These don't really qualify as non-collegiate or community topics.
Just a thought...
Not everyone approves of Mount Rushmore, either... http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2013/10/04/native-history-construction-mount-rushmore-begins-151588
Actually, I was a bit surprised that RHHiT even suggested Rough Riders...surely someone on the committee from the academic world will object to white soldiers from an earlier time whose uniform is similar to that worn in an era not-so-kind to American Indians will find the term objectionable.
