Week 1: No Mountaineer Upset This Year

Last year Appalachian State stunned the football world by knocking off Michigan on the road.  History did not repeat itself this season as the Mountaineers were handled by a well-prepared LSU team (41-13).  It was the first time the defending champion from I-A met the I-AA champ, and it was all the Tigers in this one as they bolted out to a 31-0 halftime lead behind Charles Scott's 144 rushing yards and two TDs.  The loss does not knock Appalachian State from the top ranks of the first I-AA Index, however.  Here are the complete rankings for the games played through September 1.
