I tend to agree with you Rasputitsa. I do love the passion of the college game, but with the big football schools lining their schedules with Division 2 schools or other assorted cupcakes (at home no less--Georgia has 8 home games and just 4 road games) sort of takes the excitement out of the game for me, speaking as a football fan. This makes Appalachian State's win even more amazing. Oh, wait a minute, Michigan is the Big 10...I guess it wasn't much of an upset after all;-)
Here is an interesting link, on the big schools lining up cupcakes.
