Don't get me wrong, that was a huge win for them. But I don't get the hype about this team. People just talk about the Michigan win. What about the losses to Wofford and Georgia Southern? I could understand a little more if they went undefeated, but outside of Michigan, they play nobody. They also had a couple of close wins against some inferior teams as well. I believe if they p;ayed Michigan another 10 times, they wouldn't win one.

I think most of it was the element of surprise. Michigan started to regain control of the game, but too little, too late. I had never heard of them until they played LSU in 2005. I didn't see the game, so I was following it online and I could not figure out why LSU was not putting up more points. I think they caught LSU by surprise then, as well. I can't see that happening again, IMO.

well the reason it sticks out so much is it put the iconic stamp on this season of upsets. granted it wasn't even the biggest upset of the year (stanford over usc) but it was the first. plus most casual fans haven't heard of app state, so it just made it seem a bigger upset than it was
