My favorite has to be in a few years when BYU plays a ROAD game at Liberty.

At least it is at Foxboro, where UMass plays several games per year rather than in Amherst where UMass has a 17,000 seat stadium.   No doubt it will take 65,000 seats to hold all the Mormons missionaries in Massachusetts and their investigators.

I don’t know about favorite, but a couple that stand out to me:

Florida plays two FCS teams – 9/1 vs Charleston Southern & 11/17 vs Idaho  I don’t think this was intentional as Idaho probably didn’t have plans to drop to FCS when the game was scheduled.

New Mexico State vs Liberty twice in the same season – 10/6 in Las Cruces, NM & 11/24 in Lynchburg, VA

Not a quirk but SEC business-as-usual:  Citadel at Alabama, Nov 17.

Liberty at Auburn and UMass at Georgia, also Nov 17.

How long until SEC recognises that TDS can be scheduled for a proper mid-November beatdown?

[Utah]

Probably once Utah, Cal and Arizona start beating them down. 

Come on Whitt!!!!

LSU, Wisconsin and Miss St did their part last year.

One of the teams in McNeese State’s conference is a team I have never heard of.  The name of the school is Incarnate Word.  I thought I had heard of most colleges, but I admit I had never heard of this school.  Here are a few facts about the school:

– Located in San Antonio

– 64% of the students are non-white (51% Hispanic, which makes sense in San Antonio)

– They only won one football game last year

– They averaged 21 points a game and gave up an average of 47 points a game

I think BYU should try to scheule them.  I am sure they would love the money they would get for playing in Provo and BYU would certainly get a win.

Only started football in 2009,  played Div II for a few years, then Independent FCS for one year before joining the Southland Conference in 2014.

I got my doctorate there haha. Ute and Cardinal alum. I never went to a football game at incarnate word, but a couple basketball games. My program wasnt on the main campus. But it is a pretty little campus especially at Christmas.
