Anyone Want to Help?

I've been doing some research in my spare time about matchups between I-A and I-AA teams. I'm hoping to debut a series of posts next week on the subject, but could use a little help in the meantime. The focus of my research has dealt with the time period between 2001 and 2006, mostly because the records for the past five years are the most accessible. However I'd like to extend my concentration to the 200o season just, you know, for the heck of it. This information is easily accessible if you own a Phil Steele guide from the 2005 season on back, as you can track the results of each team's season from the previous five years. What I'm looking for is A) The number of games between I-A and I-AA teams that year B) The number of upsets by I-AA teams that year (who upset who, what was the score) and C) The number of "close calls" that year (games I-A teams won by a TD or less.) I realize this seems like a somewhat daunting task, but having used my own 'Steele for something similar, I can confirm it shouldn't take more then a half-hour in one sitting. It's no big deal if if nobody wants to try to do this, because the last five years should suffice at what I'm trying to point out. But if your interested and have the time, please let me know.

Muchos Gracias
-Adam
