Id take Appalachian State straight up against Michigan. Ive seen Western Washington University play when they were national champs, and the discipline they have can make up for the size.Boise State is a good example of that. Interesting to see what happens to that team this year.
A lot of I-AA--er, Div. I Championship Subdivision--schools will take in a lot of players that transfer from schools from BCS conferences or take junior college guys that either didn't have the grades to go anywhere else or had at least some raw talent.
BSU's next to last year in I-AA (1994) had a team that featured a lot of JUCO players and they ended up winning the Big Sky Conference and went all the way to the I-AA title game only to lose to traditional I-AA power Youngstown State.
BTW, the coach for Youngstown State that year was somebody in a sweater vest. Tressel was his name...wonder whatever happened to that guy? ;)

Theres talk of a 12th team for the Big Ten. I dont't know how they would divide that up. Would it be done East-West. If that happened you figure OSU, Mich & Penn St would be in the same division. Talk about unbalanced.
My darkhorse for this years Big Ten is Penn State. I was looking at an old copy of Street & Smith from 2002 and I saw that Ohio St was picked for 20th or so that year and they ended up winning the whole thing. Maybe Penn State can do that.

****no way the Big Ten teams are going to give up the cash cow of a third non-conference game)****
I future years OSU will play USC and Miami (FL).

*****After adding a twelth team you'll have the trouble of how to split the divisions and what to name them. I propose calling them the Buckeye Division and the Wolverine Division. In the unlikely event that the annual Ohio State vs. that school up north game doesn't serve as the year's conference championship game an additional game can be played between the division winners.****
If that had been in effect last year then OSU and Mich would have played each other twice. Two weeks in a row. I don't kow if that would work. I don't think either school will want to give up that big game.

NBA schedule came out today. I’m excited about Horford. He’s the one player off of that UF team that I thought could have a nice NBA career. I’m glad the Hawks drafted him. BTW Mr. Oden comes to town on MLK day. Maybe I will buy a NBA tix for the first time in a long time.

I noticed that the writer for CFN in the link I originally posted has Northwestern as a “team on the rise”, but I can see Penn State mixing things up this year.

****Believe me, to many of us Buckeye fans Florida has leaped over Michigan as the school we really, really dislike.****
I agree with you...My fav team is the buckeyes....2nd fav is whoevers playing Michigan and my 3rd fav is whoevers playing Florida. They're really the most obnoxious people you'll ever run into and most of them didn't even go to the univ of fla. The exception to all this is of course my wonderful niece who got her masters degree form UF. LOL!

The Northwestern coach sang the 7th inning Take Me Out To The Ballgame song at Wrigley Field last night. I was listening to WGN online and he was excited because Northwestern has 7 home games for the first time ever this year.

He seems like a neat guy. And his jersey is fairly cheap. But the NBA schedule came out today and his first game is at San Antonio versus Mr. Duncan and Co.

I had several other pics I considered for today's ping:
I can't really quite imagine what it has to be like going to see game there every Saturday with 90,000 of your closest Ohioan buddies.

Their nonconference schedule is fairly easy, too. Michigan and Iowa looks to be their two toughest home games.

Those two towers in the background are Morrell (Sp?) Towers. Or as they we sometimes called Immoral Towers. LOL

Well now thanks to those south stands (when I went to OSU they really were stands like you might see at a typical high school field) it now seats over 103,000.

Well this is kind of a rebuilding year. I believe they have home and homes versus USC & Miami in the next few years.

Pictures really can't do "The Shoe" much justice, because I wouldn't have quite guessed it seats 100k, let alone a few thousand under that number in the past.

Heck, I've seen college stadiums in this part of the country with the "high school" type of bleachers.
