Yes App. State is a Div. II school, but USC was ranked #2 and had been playing great football. This practically ruins their chances of competing for a national championship.


i think this is the biggest upset stanford beating usc but michigan lost to a no name school who the heck loses to a no name school


True, but Michigan was ranked #5 in the preseason polls and lost to Oregon the next week. They then beat Notre Dame, but barely beat Penn. Thus, they were overrated at #5. USC was ranked #2 and for a reason. This is a bigger upset. USC may now be out of a national championship run.


true but they can still probally come back and go to the bcs depending on where they are ranked at but michigan still lost to a no name school


And Stanford is a big time program right now? SI ranked them 95th in their power ranking. They lost 41-3 to Arizona State. They knocked off a national contender. App. State knocked off a team that was overranked, proof by their loss to Oregon the following week. If USC comes back and still threatens LSU, they lost to one of the worst DIV I schools right now.


i dont think michigan was overranked at #5 i think that was a good spot for them before they knocked back by that horrible upset by that no name team app.state and i dunno i think michigan could've gone far but lost

USC playing great football? Are you sure? Tell me you didn't watch the game last week where they should have lost. They were horrible against an average joe team. The only reason they won is because ya boy didn't fair catch that punt and fumbled at the end.

October 7, 2007  01:03 AM ET

Not to mention App St couldn't even win out at their own level. Mich was #5, USC shouldn't have even been ranked #2.

October 7, 2007  01:04 AM ET

Yeah, but they beat Nebraska and Washinton State decisively. And they were expected to battle LSU for the Nation Championship. Michigan wasn't.

October 7, 2007  01:07 AM ET

Lsu needs to stay #1 and i want to see them play ohio state

October 7, 2007  01:07 AM ET

Who's to say they weren't expected to get to the championship game? They were only #5 before they even played, they had a hell of a recruiting class, and they are better then USC, especially with Booty injured now.

October 7, 2007  01:08 AM ET

Ohio or Cal... Either will be a hell of a game, not to mention LSU will have a good game with Auburn coming up soon

October 7, 2007  01:09 AM ET

They were ranked #5 and expected to contend, but everyone thought it would be between USC and LSU.

October 7, 2007  01:10 AM ET

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the LSU Auburn game.

October 7, 2007  01:10 AM ET

That is a close one. Stanford is pretty horrible this season. I thought App. St. won their title a couple of times lately?? Michigan and USC must have been a wee bit overrated this year. But Ill go with USC losing as the biggest upset. Rough weekend for Socal football.

October 7, 2007  01:15 AM ET

Yeah but Oregon is also another top team, I wouldn't overlook them.

October 7, 2007  01:20 AM ET

I agree, Oregon is a good team. But to me it showed that their #5 ranking was a little high.

October 7, 2007  01:30 AM ET

Sorry Josh, but App St IS the 2-time defending nat'l champ at their level. If you know college football, you know there's more teams than the 112 Div. I teams. They lost this year but all that stuff means nothing until they get to the playoffs.

October 7, 2007  01:32 AM ET

Master Chief, see previous comment...No Name? Not Hardly!!

October 7, 2007  01:38 AM ET

I never said App wasn't good, I said for them to beat a top div I team you would think they could run the table in their own div. I do know football and I also know a div II school beating a div I school is on par with a college team beating an NFL team.

October 7, 2007  01:49 AM ET

Standford is in the Pac-10, they have stiff competion every year; App does not.

App/Mich is a bigger upset.

October 7, 2007  01:51 AM ET

Capt. Obvious is obviously a closet lsu fan.

October 7, 2007  01:59 AM ET

lol..I like LSU, but I'm a Texas fan. We just got beat by Oklahoma.

October 7, 2007  02:33 AM ET

Josh, that analogy is ridiculous. Just because a school has more students doesn't mean they have better athletes. If you're gonna use that kind of logic, I see I'm way to advanced to discuss this futhermore...Do you even know how they decide which schools are Div I & Div II? If so, you wouldn't have made an asinine statement like that.

October 7, 2007  04:34 AM ET

I LOVE that USC beating a #14 Nebraska and Wash St decisively is somehow something to brag about. Isnt a number one team SUPPOSED to do that? Get off the bandwagon... Stanford just showed USC for what they really are. OVERRATED!!!!!

App state could beat Stanford
