I don't see any games in that list where there is a good chance that FCS beats FBS.

EWU has the best chance, but I still don't think they get it done.

The top CAA teams have fared very well against mediocre MAC teams over the past several years. Towson is very capable of winning this one.

I like the "upsets" in these three games you have listed but I think William & Mary will definetely beat Maryland this Saturday. Maryland is horrible and will be playing lots of youngsters including a freshman QB after losing a bunch of players to transfers (two to W&M) and injurie this coming year.

Sorry just realized this was referring to Thursday night game! Maryland vs. W&M is Saturday. I say between Towson, McNeese State & Eastern Washington we get two wins.

I think it would be an upset if EWU didn't win. No idea what they've done in the offseason but if MTSU is not significantly better than the 2-win team they put out in 2011, they are in trouble too.
