See my earlier post regarding the Basketball tourney. VCU, Butler, Wichita State are managing to hang with programs like Kansas and Kentucky.

Basketball isn't remotely the same as football. Basketball is a non-contact sport with 5 guys on 5. You could have a lesser team play great together and shoot lights out from 3 and hang with a more talented roster. When you're talking 11 on 11 where guys are physically manning up on each other on the lines, odds are that most of the time the big boys are going to have their way with the VCU/Butler/WSU's of the football world the overwhelming majority of the time.

Never forget, Georgia Southern beat UF one of the richest programs in the country.Jacksonville State vs Ole Miss. Bama vs La Monroe, LSU vs UAB

And those are 1 game scenarios. For every game you just mentioned, I could show you 100 where the big name team throttled the tomato can. Let's also realize that uf/ole miss/bama/lsu in those games you referenced averaged what, like 6 or 7 wins in those seasons? They are name teams but those simply weren't good football teams.
