Last year I followed the Sports Network's "Must See FCS Matchups" article to find games outside of the CAA that were worth recording to casually watch. They don't seem to be writing another article this year.
The majority were not in my area (Richmond, VA), but some other east coast teams were readily available (CAA/SoCon/Patriot). An occasional MVFC team (NDSU, UNI) and I think I found Northern Arizona and North Dakota games in my area.
Anyways... I think we should work together to compile a list of must watch FCS games. Obviously the Top 25 teams each week are good choices, but what other games?
I'll get it started. All times EST. Let me know if there's TV for a game, even if only regional. (AGS Poll Rank)
