Re: *** Official Michigan Football 2007 Thread ***
line was somewhere between 37 and 40 from what I've gathered
biggest upset according to spreads Temple over V Tech with Vick and some Central Michigan/Western Michigan game a few years ago are the only ones that come close

The money line is what matters, not the spread... [/ QUOTE ] I would love to here this line as it accurately represents what the spread really is. My guess: UM -850 APP St +650

Re: *** Official Michigan Football 2007 Thread ***
I haven't really read this thread since I was at UNC watching my I-AA school get thrashed yesterday, but I went to Boone to see my school (JMU) play app state last year. App State (or CRAP state as we called them then) is actually a really good team. They are well balanced and Edwards is super underrated IMO.
App State put a tough loss on us last year, but I was really excited to see them beat Michigan... as a I-AA football fan.

My guess: UM -850 APP St +650 [/ QUOTE ] it wouldn't be anywhere close to that coming into last season, I believe it was 2 of 250 games with 26 point + favorites lost For instance, Arkansas was 23.5 point favorites over Troy and were -2500 on the moneyline Nebraska -21.5 v Nevada was -2100 V Tech -27.5 v E Carolina was -6000 W Va -23 v W Mich was -3600 Michigan would've been higher than all of those. I believe I saw the spread as over 30 with my own eyes under 5dimes college xtra

I read quite a few articles that said that Appy State would easily contend in a bunch of the mid-major conferences, which would still be a big upset if they were in a mid-major, but since they are classified as I-AA, it seems even bigger. Which blows. Oh well.

[/ QUOTE ] i think Ball State almost beat Michigan last year. i have to agree that their classification as a double A and the fact that it is the 1st game of the season as the two things making this seem so improbable. Sure it's absolutely huge (and i was luckily enough to have watched it) but lets give App state some credit for being a decent team. Oh, and as a diehard OSU bucks fan i still have a huge smile on my face. Absolutely hilarious!

Re: *** Official Michigan Football 2007 Thread ***
no...it was a CMU v WMU game in 2000
West Mich was 35.5 point favorites and lost 21-17 biggest upset in my database of games spread wise The power index I trust most (Phil Steele) had Michigan 38 points better and had the worst Big11Ten team double digits over APP St on a nuetral field
