In 2016, a Georgia State team that finished 3-9 lost by 6 to a Wisconsin team in “Madtown” that went to the BIG Championship game and finished ranked in the top 10.

You've changed your tune from App will get blown out to App won't win at Wisconsin. That is probably accurate, and yes App could get blown out like they did vs. Miami. If you gave me 21 points I'd take it.

Last four years for App:

UTK 13-20 in OT
Miami 10-45
UGA 10-31
Wake 19-20
Penn St. 38-45 in OT
NC 34-31
SC 20-15

Only 1 G5 OOC loss in four years.

33. Appalachian State @ Wisconsin
Wisconsin is a killer at home against Group of Five programs – it destroyed Central Michigan an Kent State last year by a combined 109-0. Appalachian State, though, beat North Carolina and South Carolina last year, and it’ll be fantastic again.

33. NC State @ Troy
Is NC State past all of the problems of last year’s 4-8 clunker? It’ll be coming off the ACC opener against Louisville and a battle with Mississippi State before going on the road to deal with Troy. It was a couple of years ago, but the Trojans shocked Nebraska 24-19.

25. Georgia Southern @ Ole Miss
The last thing any team wants to deal with late in the season in what’s supposed to be a paycheck game is an option offense. Making things extra worse for Ole Miss is the showdown against Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl just five days later.

4. Appalachian State @ Wake Forest
Appalachian State was able to get by North Carolina and South Carolina last season, and this year’s version should be every bit as good. Wake Forest managed to survive and advance through the first half of last season, but this should be a dead-even game in Winston-Salem.

I have high hopes for Louisiana @ Missouri.

So you gave 1 good team a run for their money....nice work....that's my point pretty much...

Even though UNC and USC didn’t have a *stellar* year, they are still P5 with high level recruits and we played them in their backyards, you’ll hear about those wins for a while from us, especially since they are in the Carolinas with us.

As for Wisconsin this year, I fully expect this team to be competitive in the game, and I’m confident we can win. QB Zac Thomas RARELY loses, the kid just has a winner mentality. Plus, our coach said this and I know all App grads can attest, there is just SOMETHING about App State that changes you. We’ve had incredible success with recruits coming in and it doesn’t look like we are slowing down.

Wake should be a W, so I’m not sure about the “upset” in that
