t, the most noteworthy team they beat was GA Southern.
Their 2 losses were to arkansas state (lol) by 13 and Clemson by 31.
I knwo nothing about htem for '16, but just because they put up a good record against cupcakes last year doesnt' mean they're going to hang with UT.
I think their upset against Michigan 9 years ago has clouded some people's minds.
They have been blown the frick out in every big OOC matchup since then

To be fair, they were pretty bad (relative to their previous success) from 2011-2014
2011 : 8-4 (1AA)
2012 : 8-4 (1AA)
2013 : 4-8 (1AA)
2014 : 7-5 (1A)
2015 : 11-2 (1A)
So, of all those big losses, most occurred while still 1AA in the late 2000s and the rest were while they weren't very good overall.
This is probably going to be their best team ever this season (hard to compare their elite 1AA teams with a pretty good 1A team), which doesn't mean a ton, but they will be pretty good. Doesn't mean they will give Tennessee any problems, but they are a lot better than any of those prior teams that got hammered by 1A teams.

Hmm. So if App State beats the Canes in game 3 will you be talking about how they never beat good OOC teams? And App State lost to Clemson last year by 27 less points than Miami did.
What will you be thinking of Richt's tenure if he loses to App State?
