I will take the Highest Level Truly Crowned NCAA Football Defending National Champion Appy State, on the road, knocking off defending BCS Champion LSU

Athletic Parody being the theme of NCAA football in recent years, we have witnessed the gap in Talent between the haves and have not???s severely decline. We know that on any given Saturday anyone can beat anyone. It is a game of game plan and execution.

So we look at execution:

LSU has given up both playing QBs from last yr with Perriloux and Flynn. They don???t really even have anyone to list as the potential starter at this point. They lost their best back (Hester) and their best WR (Doucet). They will replace 2 offensive lineman and 7 defensive starters. Execution???

Appy State returns the top ???college QB (not QB all around but top college QB)??? in the nation with Edwards along with essentially the entire squad that put together their 2nd Title in a row last Winter. This is a veteran team who knows how to win in big game situations (3 time defending Natl Champs in an actual playoff format, won in the Big House).

I like Appy to flat out perform a very inexperienced LSU squad.

For the record, I dont think anyone beating Michigan is an upset, I dont think there is a player in the Big10 with the speed to play QB in his offense (joke).

Actually Appy lost their top WR to the Draft and that is basically it. He is replaced by a 6???3??? Freshmen who is highly touted as the ???future??? next D2 star to make it. They did lose their top tailback in Richardson but he was no stud. Just a solid back in a solid system. He will be replaced by another talented athlete.

Now if it was whether the coaches allowed it to happen or not then we would have 119 12-0 D1 teams, that dosent seem logical at all does it? Logic? Logic is declaring that a 3 time defending D2 national champion who returns the best ???college QB??? in the nation defeats a team that has to replace virtually all of its starting offensive skill players along with 7 defensive starters. That to me is Logic.

Will or wont Michigan beat Utah? I assume they will though I wont predict either way. Can Rich find a QB? If not Can Rich adjust to the QB???s he has such as Meyer did with leak who ran like a 5???2??? 342lb diabetic woman? Who knows.

However I think it is more likely that D2 Appy state beats LSU (returning BCS champ) thanit is that Utah (D1 and coming off 9-4 season) beats Michigan (D1 and coming of a 9-4 season).
