Would Michigan get your AP vote?

I disagree with the premise that any I-AA team is better than half of the I-A team. I would never in a million years make that argument about Montana, and it's the second ranked I-AA team in the country.

99 times out of a hundred, Appy State loses that game. There's a reason that so few I-AA teams beat I-A teams every year. They're no where near as good as the vast majority of I-A teams.

 

Says the man who hates Michigan.

 

They played LSU two years ago.

 

What I'm saying is, you could vote for Michigan if you thought they were one of the 25 best teams in the country, and either Appy just won a fluke, or was a really, really good team.
I don't think that's the case, but obviously some do.

 

Appy's a good team, but sometimes you catch the wrong team on the right day.

 

Ture. And they were shut out by them.
They also played Hawii, Marshall, Wyoming, Kansas and NC State. Never did they put up more than 17 points, and in the games they got to 17, they gave up 40 and 50.

 

OK, so they're probably not better than half the I-A teams. My post was more of a slam against Indiana.

 

Now that, I can concur with. The Hoosiers are terrible.

 

Ok, if I'm understanding you correctly, if Michigan wins out and goes 11-1, it shouldn't be ranked because the loss to Appy means it's not one of the top 25 teams? That's nuts.

 

Gotcha. Sorry, then. My bad. DOWN WITH INDIANA. SELL IT TO FRANCE!!!

 

Maybe it also means this year's team is much better than in other years.

 

Actually, not true. They were winless against I-A teams that aren't Wake Forest. Not that Wake Forest, before last year, was much of a I-A team.
