... as UCF, their opponent, and some other AAC members adjusted their schedule in the wake of the schedule conflicts caused by Irma.

However, the Black Bears may have to make do with 10 games this year. xsmhx

They are getting $350K....the amount of the original guarantee.

It sucks having another bye week, but this was most likely a probable loss so it's pretty much a wash playoff wise.

Not a concern. Maine plays at New Hampshire, James Madison, and Villanova, all to start the conference schedule.

Does anyone have a bye Week 5? Georgia State is in the same situation with their game vs. Memphis being cancelled, but they'd prefer an FBS game.

Maine now has a bye week before the Villanova game in addition to before JMU. It's too early to tell for sure, but I think Maine will be a tough out for everyone they play.

Maine also has another money game at Fenway against UMass.

This isn't necessarily the end of the world.

All of the FCS teams with an open date week 5 already have 11 on their schedules.

Georgia State would struggle against most FCS teams.

They already have one FCS loss in 2017.

You shoulda called up NDSU. We have a bye week this week.
