"Stanford over #1 USC is not the greatest upset ever
Not even close.
Appalachian State, a Div 1-AA (or whatever want to call it), goes into The Big House, and defeats a #5 Michigan team. That’s unreal.
Stanford beats #1 USC. That’s old hat. And it’s no where near as close an upset as ASU over Michigan this year.
Stanford is a solid 1-A team. They have 9 Pac 10 championships — one as recently as 1999. They shouldn’t be a terrible team. They are, but they shouldn’t be.
Meanwhile, Appalachian State is a solid 1-AA team. Yes, they’ve won back-to-back championships. But they’re still decidedly 1-AA. They lost to NC State just last year. And NC State will be lucky to win 1 game this year!
The sad thing is, this Stanford hype is coming from the Pac 10 honks. I actually heard a guy on the radio arguing that the Stanford win proves the Pac 10 is the best conference because the worst team in the league can beat the #1 team in the country.

So let it rest. Stanford is a bad team, yes. And they beat a #1, yes. They were a elevendy billion point underdog. Fine.
But ASU is a small, D1-AA school that beat one of the most storied football programs in history in their house. That’s an upset.
Sorry, trees. Not even close.
Update: One thing I forgot to mention — the pollsters apparently agree with me too. USC was #1 and fell to #10, while Michigan was #5 and dropped completely out the polls. ‘Nuff said.
