I'm going to be doing an article about respect for the mid-majors, and acc in football.

If you guys could throw some games my way where the MAC trashed an opponent in the SEC, Big 10, Pac 10, Big 12, or upper Big East - I'd appreciate it.

I give HEAVY preference to non-FSU accomplishments.

last few years. Marshall beating South Carolina.
UCF beating Alabama at the Tide's homecoming in
2000.

The early 70's, in the old Tangerine Bowl Game.
In consecutive years...Miami, O defeated Georgia,
Florida and South Carolina.

C-USA...UAB beating LSU at Baton Rouge 13-10 in
2000!

Hope that's a start for you.
