There is no team in Stanford’s history that would have any danger of losing to Colgate.

Ahem...UC Davis, anyone?

Come on, not every FCS team is the same level of team. You understand intuitively that Alabama is a different team than Oregon which is a different team than Washington State which is a different team than Florida International. The same thing is true at the FCS level. Colgate last year was the #224 team in the nation. On a neutral site last year UC-Davis would have been favored over Colgate by 20 points. You don't understand what level of team Colgate is if you are comparing them to UC-Davis. It's literally the difference between last year's Stanford and Utah teams.

43 point upsets don't happen. When all-time great upsets happen it's because one team gets outrageously complacent. Just not going to happen playing in the season opener coming off a crappy season.
