Appalachian State won the National Championship last year. Can't remember who it was, but I had a huge argument last year with someone about the legitimacy of I-AA success. Kind of funny to see this happen now.

Ha, it was with me.
This was a big step forward towards parity as scholorships have been reduced overtime, which is fine. It's good to see the odd upset. But if I recall right my original point at the time was the legitimacy of BSU as a national contender because they beat Oklahoma. They play cupcakes all year then have one impressive win at the end. That makes for a decent team, but not a national champion.
BTW is App State head and shoulders above the rest of the others in the Champions division?
Anyway as a bit of a OSU fan that was fun to see.
