What was the bigger upset in college football last year: Appalachian State over Michigan or Stanford over USC?

Question

remember also that Appalachian State v. Michigan was the season opener for both, while USC v. Stanford was a few games in...

this can be viewed from a couple different perspectives, but one is that Michigan had no reason to overlook Appalachian State while USC may have somewhat overlooked Stanford

I believe that USC was a 41 point favorite though, Michigan a 31 point favorite

Answer 1

Appalachian State v. Michigan i think more people knew about that one and michigan was ranked like number 3 i think...and it was awesome to see such an upset in the first week!

Answer 2

appalachian state  

Answer 3

Stanford over USC.

yes, Appy State is a D2 team but they are a championship D2 team. Their players weren't the most higly recruited but decent players none the less. Besides- UM wasn't that great last year.

Usc did have a few games under thier belt and totally overlooked Stanford. Stanford is a team they play every year and have beaten the snot out of them every year. They should have known this team and buckle down when it was close but they bit the bullet and lost the chance to play in the title game.  

Answer 4

App State Kicking some Wolverine heiny!!

Answer 5

Michigan...because App State is a D2 team

Answer 6

Appy State was way bigger

Answer 7

obviously it was usc cause appalacian state is actually good there the champions in there division stanford sucks and usc lost 2 them as lyk the number two team in the nation

Answer 8

Division I teams always overlook Division II Teams. So, eventhough Appalachian State was a back to back champion, University of Michigan overlooked them and as this years Sports Illustrated College Football Preview Issue points out, spread offenses really stretch defenses thin and in any one player is not in position, slips, falls, runs the wrong pattern, a five yard play becomes a long touchdown.

Answer 9

michigan

Answer 10

Michigan is the bigger upset just because they lost the season opener to Appalachian State. A lost like that can destroy a a teams season.
