Here's the 2017 SEC/FCS slate

8/31 - Florida A&M @ Arkansas
9/2 - Chuck Southern @ Miss St.
9/2 - Misery St @ Missouri (Lovely)
9/9 - Northern Colorado @ Florida (odd....)
9/9 - EKU @ Kentucky
9/9 - Chatty @ LSU
9/9 - UT Martin @ Ole Miss
9/9 - Indiana State @ Tennessee (odd-ish)
9/9 - Nicholls @ Texas A&M
9/9 - Alabama A&M @ Vandy
9/16 - Mercer @ Auburn
9/16 - Samford @ Georgia
11/18 - Mercer @ Alabama (WTF Mercer....haha)
11/18 - Wofford @ South Carolina

My point? They are largely regional....SoCon, SWAC, Big South....OVC....Two MVFC matchups and the one out of the Big Sky kinda throws my theory in the trash, but my rational is still sound.
