Lance brought up a great question in this week's FCS Wedge Podcast Review Show intro. How many teams in all of FCS would do better than 5-5 if they had played Davis's schedule so far?

Since they lost to #17 Montana, I will go with 16.

Depends on how tough you view a game at UND to be. 3 pretty decent teams (including UC Davis) have lost at UND but all 3 had chances to win. The 5 wins that Davis has gotten I'd say the majority of top 25 teams should/could get also. There's probably only 5 or so FCS teams in the country that would be better than 6-4 with their schedule but how many could get to 6-4? I'd say you could make the argument for 10-15 more.
Maybe only a handful. 4 or 5 at the very most, perhaps. They should have beat UND, but made stupid mistakes to get out of field goal range.

I don't know, about 70 teams in this subdivision are just bad.
The teams I listed are the ones you'd have to beat to get to 6 wins. Like I said in my first reply getting more than 6 wins out of UC Davis' schedule to date is something very few teams could do but getting to 6 wins with their current schedule at this point wouldn't necessarily require an elite team IMO.
