The story of Champion Baptist, who trailed Southern 44-0 and lost by 104

[Nelson]

I'm sure some of you heard it about it on SportsCenter and such, but yesterday Southern beat a helpless team 116-12.

Here's an article on the game: http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/colleges/SBNation_20131230_The_story_of_Champion_Baptist__who_trailed_Southern_44-0_and_lost_by_104.html

The best part about it:

We mean to point out that YO THEY TOTALLY SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO PLAY AGAINST A D-I TEAM IN A GAME THAT COUNTS IN THE STANDINGS. Southern probably shouldn't be allowed to schedule them in the first place, but certainly not in a game that isn't considered an exhibition.

A comment that sticks out in the original SBNation article:

The ACCA isn’t even the top level of small Christian college sports. Just to put this in perspective, here’s what the competitive pyramid would be like if one actually existed:

NCAA D-I
NCAA D-II
NAIA D-I
NCAA D-III
NAIA D-II
NCCAA D-!
USCAA
NCCAA D-II
ACCA

Seriously. It’s that far down the totem pole. Let me put it this way: I’VE never even heard of Champion Baptist before today, and anyone that knows me who’s reading this comment now knows exactly how obscure they are.

This happens all the time D1 schools schedule a NAIA school to play against this is no different.

NAIA teams are of much higher caliber than ACCA teams. NAIA teams would at least be able to put up 40 on most teams and likely lose with a score of something like 105-45. This should've been counted as an exhibition game IMO.

Thanks for telling me about this I thought this school was NAIA.
