Adrian held Arkansas State to a 17-17 tie Friday night in a non-conference DIA matchup.
Grand Canyon University kicked off their season with a two-game tour of Colorado.
The 'Lopes opened the trip Friday night with a matchup against Colorado University, and Sunday against Colorado State.
The opener was GCU's first runout and it looked it. They were hit with mistakes and committed a ton of penalties.
In a game that had a somewhat winner-take-all (OK,, not all, but a lot) feel about it, Ohio State defeated Michigan 69-21 Friday night in Columbus, Ohio.
The victory ensured for the Buckeyes a place in the Big 10 semifinals, while Michigan will now be playing in the 5th-place semis.
As we've been saying in recent weeks, D2 is like pouring oil on water—the oil floats on top of the water and the top 15-20 teams are significantly stronger than the other teams.
Yes there might be one or two exceptions, but we probably know who will advance in the playoffs. That means that there don't end up being a lot of matchups where we're thinking "hey, check this one out!"
D1AA gets its share of upstarts each year, which is something we enjoy seeing.
