    11 vs 12 game seasons next year

    Curious. After the dam hurricane and all this year ... How many of your teams are playing 12 games next year?

    Furman has tried for 12 but so far no one will agree to the 12th. So we have a DAM 11 game schedule with TWO FBS ... And no D2 (Granted one FBS is maybe winnable - VTech and Georgia State ... GState ain't great but would be top 15 in FCS) so as Vegas would have it that's TWO underdog games right off the bat again for my Furman guys. And Charleston Southern. So Vegas would have a 25th ranked FCS Furman as 1-2 to start unless we pull a moderate upset at G State. That doesn't allow us much room for at-large. Dam

    That concerns me. I don't want to go 7-4 and see 8-4 teams selected above us just because someone backed out on us. I would would almost rather go 6-5 and not feel jobbed . LOL. I could deal with that as next year may still be building a foundation...

    ANYWAY. LEGIT QUESTION - please post not you entire Schedule. Just
    1) Who is your team ?
    2). How many games do you play next year?
    3). How many of those are FBS games ??
    4). How many of those are D2?


    thanks ! Maybe more of you are playing 11 games than I realize... We were trying for a D2 but they backed out is word

    Well, we have 12.

    Towson, Elon, Charleston Southern, and Ga Tech. +8 SOCON. Pretty good schedule if you ask me.

    12 for NDSU, all FCS teams.

    Butler, U of North Dakota, @Delaware, and UC Davis are the non-conference games.

    Looks like a pretty good schedule, especially given how young the team is going to be. Heck, even got a bye the week before conference play starts.

    I’m fairly sure SDSU will have 12, the only OOC I know of though is at Minnesota and at Drake. I would imagine the other two games are home games, but I’m not sure who they are.

    Mercer has Campbell in Macon & is at UNC to give Mack Brown an embarrassing loss in his 1st year back Coaching.

    Still need 2, I guess.

    Hopefully, a decent FCS at home among those 2 and I include PFL in ‘decent’ because of Mercer’s history & proximity with JaxU & Stetson. And, PC wouldn’t be a terrible choice for a home game, either - only 3.5 hours to Clinnon.

    Wouldn’t mind a 2nd FBS (any ‘flavor’) for the 12th game. Or, still would love for a strong and/or well-known HBCU like NC A&T, Grambling, or FAMU to come to Macon for a game. Tallahassee is only 3 hours away. Mercer likes to recruit FL, so I could see a home & home with the Rattlers making a lot of sense.

    Central Arkansas
    12 games
    FBS Hawaii and FBS Western Kentucky
    NO D2s

    This will be year 2 of our rebuilding so I don't expect to make the playoffs due to 2 FBS schools and revamping the team.

    Wofford hasn't played a 12 game season since 2002 and I hate it. If we did 12 games we would probably play 2 FBS games.

    If you're playing Hawaii, are you allowed a 13th game?
