Appalachian State over #5 Michigan 
-I know I just picked Michigan to win a close-ish contest above, however this Appalachian St. team is seriously good. They were the D1-AA (FCS) champs last year and this, to me, looks like a huge scheduling mistake by Michigan. They picked the worst D1-AA team to play and they honestly could lose this game if they don't come into it on their game. If they come out flat they could find themselves panicking down the stretch in the 2nd half. It's just a really dangerous game for them because if they lose their season is done before it even starts. -Keep an eye on appalachian State's studly QB Armanti Edwards -

I agree with you that the Michigan - App. St. game will not be a walk in the park and I'd kind of like to see the Wolverines go down.
Another close game will be Washington @ Syracuse. Both have 3rd year coaches and are starting freshman QB's
You probably know this by now, but Richie Williams' final year at QB was 2005. The current mountaineers quarterback is Armanti Edwards (#14).
yes that was my mistake. Thanks though. since i called the upset I hope it's excused.
