    Top chances at FCS over FBS this week?

    Off the top of my head...

    Georgia State
    Akron
    UMass(?)

    are in that group, who else?

    Maybe a top ten?

    Yes, I know we did this before.

    I'm picking Maine of UMass, JMU over Akron, and UNH over CMU (though that one's a bit more iffy).

    Outside of the CAA - Chatty might take out GA State, we'll find out if TN Martin was just that good or if Chatty is just that bad. Cal Poly might have a chance against Fresno, and UC Davis may have an outside chance against Nevada.

    For the most part otherwise it looks like the FBS bottom dwellers are playing FCS bottom dwellers, though I might have missed one.

    I don't think Sam Houston has a chance in hell against Ass-to-Mouth, but I hope they make it a game.

    Is there any way we can stop mentioning Georgia State on these kind of discussions and just assume they're going to lose a whole bunch of embarrassing games?

    UCA over Colorado.

    Count on it.

    Even though I was the first one to do it. I agree that teams that weren't full FBS last season should be a different category for these threads.

    And of course, I'm trying to see how impressive it would be if Richmond did pull off the upset at NCSU.

    We are 3-0 vs the ACC in North Carolina since 2005 but NCSU is no Duke.

    I'm with you on this one. I watched the rocky mtn showdown and neither team is impressive. If UCA can stop the short pass, CUs qb tends to try to throw in very small windows on the deep ball, which could lead to some turnovers for the bears. Their running game is atrocious and their defense is mediocre at best. If the bears play a good game, they win.

    Outside Georgia State, this ones probably pretty likely. CU is horrible.

    Ok, I know most folks on here find it easy to over look anything EKU, but how about this. EKU plays the University of Louisville Saturday, currently ranked #8 in FBS. Although we may get very little respect , I would not call EKU a " bottom feeder". Certainly those who know football would not call the Cards that! EKU
    has their work cut out for them. Wish we had the guys on the team that we had in 1985 when we beat them handily. Will be a tall task, watched UL play on Sunday and they are the real deal ( no bottom feeder for sure). And they have Heisman hopeful, Teddy Bridgewater.
