Coach O is a treasure. I’ve turned into a legit LSU fan in hopes that I never have to go a Saturday afternoon without him.
One of my two favorite teams won today, as BYU beat F%cky but Vandy couldn't quite come back all the way against the Flailin' Irish.ND barely beat Ball State and Vandy at home, but they'll move up in the rankings. One of the weaker top-10 teams of recent vintage. Wait till they start playing actual opponents.
Right. They started with a Big 10 team, so it was mid-major, mid-major, Vanderbilt.
When Bucky struggled so much last week with New Mexico (it was a 3-point game midway through the 3rd quarter) I had a feeling they were going to take a fall sooner rather than later. Can't say I'm all that surprised by this.
Did I hear correctly in that the Big Ten lost non-conference games yesterday?

You’ll be able to walk up. Hoosier football isn’t a top notch experience by any means.
Wow, gotta suck when your CFB season is over before conference play even starts. Bye bye Bucky.
Old Dominion resurrected their program in 2009, knocks off top 15 Virginia Tech and receives more publicity then they could possibly ever pay for. That will be the biggest surprise win of the year, one of the biggest in the last decade. Backup QB throws for 495 yards. ODU was ranked 124th out of 129 FBS schools.
More publicity than they could possibly pay for? These upsets happen routinely. No one will remember it next month.
From ESPN: "The Monarchs were 0-3 entering Saturday, including a blowout loss to Liberty, a first year FBS team, and coming off a humiliating loss to Charlotte. ESPN's Football Power Index gave ODU a 1.8% chance of winning, making this the largest upset by an FBS opponent in the metric's 14 year history."Upsets happen routinely, but not "these upsets".
Yep, other than the fact that VT travelled to ODU, I would say it was the biggest FBS upset since App St over UM
Virginia Tech aint Michigan.
Cool. Thats not the point I was making. A school who has been FBS for 3 years pulled and was terrible this year stomped a top-15 opponent at home and was a massive upset by any metric. This wasn't a conference team catching a familiar opponent napping. So you're wrong on this sort of upset happening every week. And maybe the national media forgets about it, but I can assure you the state of Virginia wont, which is where ODU will gain needed publicity and recruiting cache for football.
