Here is a breakdown of how FCS teams did when they have stepped up and took on BCS / AQ conference teams. The FCS is currently 2-52 with eight games left to play. The only two wins were Sacramento State’s beating of Colorado 30-28 and Youngstown State’s handling of Pitt 31-17! Some of the games were competitive … most were not!
Remember this is just the BCS (6 conferences: ACC, Big East, Big 12 Big Ten, PAC 12, SEC, & ND) teams vs the FCS … not the FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) as a whole … in other words … the five other conferences (C-USA, MAC, WAC, Mountain West, & Sun Belt), who award 85 scholarships and the three independents ( Army,Navy, & BYU) are not part of this data. I will present a breakdown of that information that for your review tonight!
