In Popular Mechanics' September Calendar, the magazine decided to throw in a bit of college football. That makes sense. Everyone is getting ramped up for fall and football and all the excitement that comes with it.

The problem is that it might not have been the most true of statements to print ... the magazine printed a photo of Michigan running back Derrick Green near the top right corner and wrote "College football season gets underway tonight with the University of Michigan in a cupcake game against Utah."

The Detroit Free Press snagged a copy of the magazine (no surprise with Detroit being the Motor City) and Fox's Salt Lake City affiliate had a chance to ask a few of the Utes about being called a cupcake game.

"Our team is always juiced no matter what," receiver Kenneth Scott said. "With that little thing they put in our locker room about us being a cupcake game, it definitely puts more intensity into the game just because of that little statement."

"There's no problem getting up for Michigan," Utah coach Kyle Whittingham added.

This edition of Popular Mechanics has become bulletin-board material for Utah vs. Michigan: http://t.co/U1nuwoqO8q pic.twitter.com/gB8qTCWc2T — Alejandro Zúñiga (@ByAZuniga) August 25, 2015

One thing is for sure: Utah is not a cupcake game for anyone, especially not in Rice-Eccles Stadium. But maybe the editors didn't realize Michigan has a first-year coach and a first-year quarterback, that the Wolverines were coming off a 5-7 season and that the Wolverines lost at home last season to the Utes, 26-10 ... or that it's not 1997.

And it's not as though the magazine had to choose Michigan-Utah. There are plenty (I repeat plenty) of cupcake games during the opening weekend. And for their liking, here's a sweet smorgasbord of some of those games: Georgia Tech vs. Alcorn State (sorry, Braves), Oklahoma vs. Akron (sorry, Zips) and Clemson vs. Wofford (sorry, Terriers).

But upsets happen. We all know that. So if they really want to start talking about cupcakes in Salt Lake City, I suggest they start here.
