Congrats to 'nova, William and Mary, and Richmond on big wins vs. FBS opponents this weekend. Pretty damn impressive.

Towson? Well you didn't get shut out.

It's now CAA 3 FBS 2, as UMass fell short, losing to K-State 21 - 17

The "D" dealt a shut-out in the second half...

Great and impressive effort by UMASS and had they been able to pull out a victory I wouldn't have restricted my thread title to the "SOUTH" only.

ACC who? JMU can make it three ACC beat downs and four 1A wins for the CAA South.

Go TRIBE, SPIDERS & CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good try UMASS and Towson!

When are they moving to the yankee conference?

Well i can honestly say at least the Tigers do appeared to have improved somewhat, i hope they can keep it up for the rest of the year, especially Athens, he has a tough job replacing Schafeur

Don't hold you're breath.

CAA South 3-1, rest of I-AA by my count 0-34.

Man you're a Debbie Downer...

Yeah, a lot of FCS teams lost, a lot had decent games and even had great chances of "shakin' up the world" (UNI). Are we (FCS teams) expected to win? No, that's the point. That's why App St beating Michigan still makes ESPN Gameday broadcast. It happens that the only 3 victories... unless I'm mistaken and there are more FCS over FBS victors out there (to which I apologize for my ignorance), all three wins came from the CAA, specifically, the CAA south... the division JMU plays in. Three CAA south teams JMU beat last year. Why not hope for JMU to put on a good performance against a Maryland team that got destroyed tonight?

I was wrong. I recounted. Outside the CAA South it was 0-34. Heck, overall have already surpasses last season's I-A vs I-AA 85-2. ESPN just had on how last year there was no IAA over BCS wins, and they highlighted already 2 with the W&M & UR wins. Overall this decade I-AA has won about 9%. This weekend 3 of 38 is about 8%. So right about the historical avg.

Sure, I'm hoping for a good performance by JMU. But I'm not expecting it. I expected it in 07' and got let down. I expected it in 08' and got let down. So I've learned better than to expect it.

Is the CAA South a new league???......

No, but since there is a clear and definable differentiation between the CAA North and South, this is an asinine question.

"Clear"????

Towson got smoked. Northeastern got smoked.

UMass lost by 4 points to arguably the best FBS team that a CAA squad played this weekend.

Maine, UNH, Hofstra and URI haven't played their FBS teams yet.......and neither has Delaware....who by the way, also beat a D-2 team (for the zillionth time )

*yawn*

So besides being bitter about eking out a victory over a D-II team in overtime, what's your point?

My point is........go smack on the ACC fans/schools.......not fans/schools in your own conference........d-bag.

Yeah, Maine they were impressive getting taken to OT by some Cloud State DII. UNH rolled by 2 TDs over the St Francis school of the deaf and blind.

URI- they get props for beating Fordham, picked to finish second in the Patriot. (Course they were picked 1st preseason last yr, and looked what happened.)

Looks like the CAA South will at least match last season's 14-4 over the North in South/North matchups.

Says the guy from the CAA South school that hasn't played a down of football yet.......

The CAA South can kiss my *ss.

I agree with MJ!

Man, from the looks of it, ODU might be joining the wrong division. I think we would have a much easier time of it in the North.

I do believe I detect a hint of sarcasm there, Jon.

Obviously, Delaware's win over WCU was expected and doesn't really show a thing. UD will, of course, be underdogs next week against Richmond as they would be against most of the rest of the CAA South at this point. However, if the Hens can manage to play well and even beat a team or two out of what is currently considered the elite of the CAA South, then the fact that three of these teams have an FBS win under their belts would make it look that more impressive. As such, I always root for CAA South teams, and other Delaware opponents, to do well in these games. It's just logical.

FWIW, I wasn't actually speaking to the relative strength of the CAA South vs. the North. I was merely pointing out that since they are two separate sub-divisions within the same conference that there is no foul in making a differentiation between the two. You seemed to have a problem with that, which is asinine, though not surprising.

i agree with mj on this one. The two divisions are nearly identical and I have a picture to prove it...
