I don't know what the average attendance was, but even if it was 15,000, you are talking about more than doubling attendance. Where are all of these new fans going to come from?

And what FBS opponents are you talking here? Sure, 35,000 would show up to see Michigan or Wisconsin come to Grand Forks. You think that many would come to see Troy or Tulane as opposed to Montana or Eastern Washington? Go ahead...call me skeptical...

You're talking about a 20,000-25,000 increase in average attendance over the largest crowds now!

Helmet...wrong color. White pants...wrong color. Jersey...wrong color numbers. Other than that, FSU looks great.

Iowa State? I thought that NDSU was playing the University of Southern Iowa Trojans?

You diggin' FSU's new duds, cberkas?

Georgia breaks open a close game against Clemson...from 24-21 to 45-21 in a hurry!

What the h-e-double-l is Florida State wearing?

Leave it to Lou Holtz to bring up how "impressive" Notre Dame was today...in a discussion about Alabama and Ohio State.

Bummer that Ohio State and Alabama didn't put one in the "L" column today...

Did Bret Bielema eat last year's Bret Bielema?

That INT hurt...not a good decision by SDSU QB.

I keep forgetting that Maryland and Rutgers are B10 now too...

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.

I've lost track of how many coaches they've gone thru since Tom Osborne retired. Solich...Callahan...Pelini...is that it?

Got beat? USC got absolutely rolled at home againat A&M. A playoff? They're NOT in.

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.

I wasn't singling you out...but can see where you may have thought that from my post. I edited my post to reflect that.

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.

Montana vs Wyoming will be interesting to watch...

Edit: Georgia Southern blowing it against NCSU.

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.

Michigan taking former 3-time FCS champ Appalachian State out behind the woodshed today.

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.
