Nope............ya won't find Western Carolina on any BIG Teams schedule either.

Why single out WCU? Cullowhee is an awesome town. Most big teams are, however, afraid to put Appalachian State on the schedule

Appalachian State an outstanding program.  I remember their big upset of Michigan (IIRC) some years back.  Cullowhee may be a wonderful town.  However, their football team is not in the same league unfortunately with Alabama.

No, they aren't. But, is App St. in the same league as Michigan or South Carolina? How about Georgia St. and Tennessee; San Jose St. and Arkansas?

He’s got those blinders on. Thankfully you and I get to witness quality football week end and week out.

LSU defense vs 4-7 ole miss gave up 714 yards 37 points. OSU defense vs #10 Penn state #12 Wisconsin and #19 Cincinnati combined 691 yards 24 points

[Shuffler]

Lucky osu didn't play ole miss.

lol they are 4-8 only team in sec west that is worse is Arkansas. ole miss is 0-5 on the road 4-3 at home so if they was at home they might of scored a couple touchdowns

You are proving Shuffler's and ACE's point. SEC is very good, which explains why Ole Miss has such a poor record yet can put up 714 yds. against LSU.

YOU LOVE TO SEE IT. It’s so frustrating talking football with Northern folks. They might as well play 2 hand touch up there.

Because they suck and App St. is clearly better.

LSU (which is an excellent team at #3 overall in SP+) has the #29 SP+ defense, so some teams are going to put up points yet still lose to LSU's #2 SP+ offense.

A more-extreme example is Oklahoma.  #1 SP+ offense, and #41 SP+ defense, and still #6 SP+ overall.

Or going the other way, there is Georgia, with #34 SP+ offense and #2 SP+ defense, #5 SP+ overall.

On top of such things, there is the usual variability game to game.

So, there end up being games like LSU vs. Vanderbilt (#102 SP+) giving 66-38, LSU vs. Ol' Miss (#55) giving 58-37, and LSU vs. Arkansas (#108) giving 56-20.  Teams that are #102, #55, and #108 by SP+ are not good.  They scored some points on the #29 defense; but the #2 offense blew them out of the water.
