RFC Scoreboard--Upsets and More

Several FBS (BCS) teams fell at the hands of FCS teams this weekend. Also, a mid-major FBS squad pulls off the biggest upset of the weekend.  Even a few teams from the lower divisions pulled off more than their share of surprises.  All that and more in this week's edition of the RFC Scoreboard.

Editor's Note: This post marks the first time that RFC is implementing, slowly, but surely, coverage of smaller conference teams from the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS)--(formerly NCAA Division I-A).  Coverage will be limited to the following conferences for 2012: Conference USA, Mid-American Conference, Mountain West Conference, Sun Belt Conference, and the Western Athletic Conference.
