How does FCS and FBS compare?

[clenz]

I've been doing this on the NDSU to the B12 thread but it deserves it's own thread for discussion.

There's yearly chatter on how the top FCS programs would compete with the G5 and some could/should be in the P5.

Well, I wanted to take a look to see how far away us FCS schools really are from our FBS counterparts.

This is not a thing to draw definitive conclusions on. There are dozens more factors than I put into this. It is simply football stadium and budgets. Take from it what you want.

I will be adding all of the G5 and FCS conferences are time goes. If a team uses more than one venue (UMASS, SWAC schools, a couple others) I will be using your "on campus" stadium.
