How the GPI Top 25 Fared 10/20/12 - Conference Rules Again
College Sporting News
When it's the best conference (Missouri Valley Football Conference) so far in 2012 you can expect most games to be contested even if your opponent is unranked. #6 South Dakota State found that out this week in the MVFC getting pasted 27-6 at Northern Iowa. #9 Illinois State and #15 Youngstown State faced similar fates losing to Missouri State and Southern Illinois respectively.
Falling to Colonial Athletic Association foes were #10 James Madison to Richmond and #18 Old Dominion to #24 Towson. Also, #14 Wofford strolled into "The Rock" at #11 Appalachian State and came out with the win.
In probably the biggest losses for ranked teams, #13 Harvard had Ivy League mate Princeton nip their bud while #19 Tennessee State was toppled in overtime at Jacksonville State.
Outside South Dakota State, eight of the top ten were able to escape defeat.
