What? A Big Ten team is responsible for one of the great upsets ever by an FCS school.
Now for the Big Ten Teams who played an FCS school this year.
Michigan St - Jacksonville St
Maryland - James Madison
Rutgers - Howard
Indiana - Indiana St
Wisconsin - Western Illinois
Minnesota - Eastern Illinois
Nebraska - McNeese St
Iowa - Northern Iowa
Northwestern - Western Illinois
Illinois - Youngstown St
Purdue - Southern Illinois
Not to mention that every Big Ten team schedules a MAC opponent. Generally a top FCS school is as competitive as a MAC team. You have a solid MAC team every so often but the majority are just a step above what you would see in the FCS playoffs. If North Dakota St was in the MAC it would probably dominate it.
So when it comes to cupcakes, the Big Ten has as much frosting, if not more than any other conference.
