GaTech 70, Elon 0
Charleston Southern 32, El Cid 29 (Are you kidding me?)
Gardner-Webb 28, Furman 21
Montana 30, ASU 6
UT-Martin 31, UTC 21
Baylor 69, Wofford 3
MTSU 45, WCU 24

On a somewhat brighter note...

GaSouth 77, Savannah State 9 (How did SSU even score against the stink?)
Samford 31, Ga State 21

Looking like the Big South, definitely.

I never remember representation like this going way, way back.

The most amazing thing about that list is that the best showing came from Western Carolina and its not close. Keeping it within 21 of an 8 win FBS team is actually something for them to be proud of, I wouldn't even include that on the list of embarrassments. 2 years ago they lose that game 70-0

I think that has been part of our problem for years. The SoCon might field a couple teams a year that gave us a run but the rest of the time we zoned out, looking at a win before the game started. While we played other teams winning the SoCon was a prime goal which was kind of a sleeper. The ease of the SoCon hurt us in the playoffs. Which makes 2005,2006,2007 even more incredible!

I think that we may not win as much in the FBS, but every game should be a learning experience.

Sounds just like a Western fan. They lose by three touchdowns to an overrated MTSU team. The only thing that kept them from losing by four touchdowns was a fourth quarter TD in garbage time to save them from getting shutout in the second half.

When was the last time there was no top-10 SoCon team and only one top 25.

Having you guys and Georgia Southern both leaving doesn't help any.
