You'll have that when one unranked team is playing another unranked team that still should be in Div. I-AA. Not that that has stopped idiot Michigan fans from crowing all week about how their program "is back." :lol:

About the only drama in the second half was whether Sugar Shane was going to throw an INT in his limited, junk-time appearance. Spoiler alert: he did.

[shrugs] DIA has expanded so much during my lifetime, it's basically the new DIAA.
And BCS / Power5 / Autonomous / whatever is the new "Premier League".
Just the way this stuff works when you have multiple tiers in a sport that's doing very well financially over a long period of time.

We won't know anything until at least after the Notre Dame game. End of story.

We might know who has the September heisman locked up again.

We won't know if this is yet another bad Michigan team that beat up on a worse nd team. They will sorely miss the importance and hype from winning that game once they learn how hard it is to schedule marquee opponents. They will miss it even more when they learn how much more the media analyzes the caliber of a random ooc opponent (cal, va tech, etc) versus a rivalry win. Beating the latter is always impressive, the former is revisited once it is known how good or bad they are.

Hmmm, the process is different for different teams. The perception going into the game (preseason rankings), and the angle the analyst wants to push determines everything imo. They'll revisit Cal being a dumpster fire. They'll revisit VTech if they turn out to be hot shit. They won't revisit LSU beating Wiscy however... that'll count as a "top 25" win (for LSU) at the end of the year. Even if Wiscy struggles to break even.
Beating Georgia was on Clemson's resume all year... beating SC will be on Georgia's resume all year now too.
