The gap is way larger than that. What they did was like a college team going to the NFL and beating a team like the Jags. If Appy State was D1 they would be around 50-60 (which is so ridiculous for a D1 AA school to begin with). Appy State should move up to D1 because they are so far ahead of everyone in D1 AA. That being said, USM would beat Appy State about 9 out of 10 times as of right now.It's like debating whether a really good 4-A school can beat a 5-A or 6-A school in high school football. They certainly can.

wrong. they beat Wake in 2000. And have played teams tough but they just never had the depth to hang. Last year they stayed close to NC State even though Armanti Edwards didn't play.Appy State had never been close to beating a Div1 school before last Saturday.

Edit: And also most of the DI teams they play are damn good. See LSU in 2005. LSU won convincingly but didnt dominate them. That game was 24-0.
Another Edit: 50-60 was too high too. 70-80 is not though.
LSU then NC State and then Michigan are some pretty damn good teams. And they could have very well been 2-1 out of those 3 games if Edwards would have played at NC State.You're right. They used to play Wake Forest every year, almost.
Hardly any of the DI teams they play are any good. But still, atleast they beat Wake Forest once and #5 Michigan.
For a DI AA football team? You are damn strait those are good teams. Those are 3 BCS conference teams. Why did you put Michigan? Were they not ranked #5 in the whole country? Do they not have 5+ players that will be drafted this year?
