Yeah, I’ll be all over that schedule. 8 of the week’s first 13 games are FBS vs FCS games. 2 more the next weekend. 3 more the next. That’s 13 of the announced 21 games.

Surely the who schedule the games can do better. Kudos for the few jems in there. Ga Tech-Boston College. Clemson-Auburn. Penn State – Pitt. Va Tech – Tennessee. THOSE, I’ll watch!

Yes and I predict 4 upsets out of your 13 games. Several FCS teams are better than the bottom half of the Group of Five teams… Open your mind some and watch a few of these games

Richmond over Virginia is a possiblility…..Mercer will force Ga. Tech to play its starters all 60 minutes…perhaps too Liberty @ VPI.
