BODY,BODY,BODY....

Actually, IMO, the majority of the time that the david's win, it is due to the goliath looking past them, or not giving them the proper respect.

Cue Alabama and OU....

Does Mighty Goliath stilll win the war - due to his better body of work?

Nick Saban, is that you...?

Didn't Satan make similar comments (in apparent reference to Boise winning) just the other day on a radio show?

David Duke doesn't play football. He's in the Klan.

LMAO...good one.

David (JMU) did beat Goliath (VA Tech) today.

So 'david' got a little shorter today.
And 'Goliath' got a little taller.

But still, what if david meets Goliath, and david wins?

Is david a better team (on that day), or is Goliath just worn out from all the 'tough' competition?

Think you have it reversed. JMU, JSU, North Dakota, and South Dakota got taller, the cheesball programs that schedule I-AA got smaller.

On a somewhat related note the one school I expected to lose to a 1-AA team yesterday (WSU) actually took care of business. Go figure.

It would seem to carry at least some logic that a team that may not be able to win a game if they don't take care of business vs a 1-AA, would get up and focus all of their energy on that game.

The motivation any team carries toward a game cannot be discounted. I don't for a second believe that James Madison is in Boise's class or that Utah St. is head and shoulders above Fla. St, but someone who discounts team motivation might think so. It is also hard to be sufficiently motivated every week, hence the discussions about strength of schedule and the importance of it.

So will Virginia Tech (0-2) even be in the top 25 after this week?

Motivation only goes so far. A lot has to do with scholarship limitations and the spread of a lot of coaching talent around.
