In the early stages of the college football season, the top ranked teams will typically face far lesser competition, often paying out large sums to have a team from, say, the Football Championship Subdivision. With their cash safely secured, these sacrifices schools will do their best to put up a solid fight for a quarter or two before the rout officially starts. Occasionally, it’ll result in a monumental upset, (i.e., Appalachian State’s impossible victory over Michigan in 2007) but for many, the dream of an upset is usually dead by the time fans and stumbling…literally and figuratively…into the stands from their tailgates.
