This article was pretty good, particularly at the top...
4. Idaho State @ Georgia
3. Presbyterian @ Clemson
2. Indiana State @ Cincinnati
1. Georgia State @ Alabama
Indiana State is probably a year or two away from being competitive. Their coach is turning things around, but they are not ready just yet.

Yes, this will be their third year in the Big South. The article said "entering just its fourth season as an FCS school" so wrong either way, but especially for ignoring that the NEC is an FCS conference.

The only game I don't agree with is Stony Brook @ USF. Stony Brook is improving and USF is on the decline after losing a number of big names to the league or graduation. The rest should be blood baths...There should be a rule that if you don't win at least 3 games in FCS a BCS team canNOT schedule you for the next year! Or at least a mercy rule and a running clock...

The NDSU/Kansas game may be closer than a blow-out. It will be interesting to see if the Bison are as low as they were last year (was it an aberation or will we see more of the Bison implosion this year?)xconfusedxxconfusedx

Yeah, it seems that no one really did their homework with SBU. While the program is relatively new to full scholarship football, it received poll votes at the end of last season and took a conference crown. It confuses me how that makes us a total pushover and worth mentioning in the same breath as Presbyterian and NDSU (2009 version)

Thanks and dont forget USF has a new coach so a new system for both their defense and offense. Doubt very much we will win but would like to see some points on the board at the end of the day. Good for the program though 1st time ever with
more to come. Plus playing in one of the better NFL stadiums IMO.

And UNH, yours was over a 2-10 Ball State team that got one of it's wins by beating Eastern Michigan, who went winless, by two points in front of 1,500 people. The year before was 3-9 Army. 3-9 Marshall. 4-8 Northwestern. 4-7 Rutgers.

Well, if that's the criteria then Richmond and William & Mary should be mentioned too as I believe they both beat ACC teams last year. I wish I could throw JMU in the mix too but we just barely missed against Maryland (the only time that we've ever gotten close, really).

So according to your FCS-FBS resume your team went 3-3. Excuses for losing doesn't count. If that was the case Lakes UND was trailing by 15 early in the 4th quarter and lost by 25 to a Texas Tech team who the year before went 11-2. But its still a LOSS!!! I guess our loss to TT is as impressive as NDSU losing to Wyoming or Iowa State

FBS teams are getting a little wiser with their scheduling or so it seems.
Hard to disagree with any of the choices here. That Tide-GSU game has the potential to be a beat down of epic portions. This is a mighty big and unnecessary gamble by GSU here. This game could do so much damage in their effort to try to build a legit FB program that not even the guarantee could possibly be worth it.

So we've played one D-II twelve seasons ago and none for the fourteen seasons prior to 1998. It was before FBS could count a FCS win every year for bowl eligibility (used to be one in four years) and before we were playoff capable/feasible and realized that a D-II win didn't count. So, we get included in every one plays a D-II or NAIA?? xoopsx xrotatehx xwhistlex
Just so I can save you some effort the next time you want to make sweeping generalizations, UNH played Dover HS and Exeter Academy back in the 1890's and played D-III Springfield College up to 1979. xrolleyesx xrolleyesx xrolleyesx xrolleyesx

Playing for a conference title with a losing record points out how frustrating it must be to have such limitations in your conference affiliations, but thats not my point. Im curious about something else. There were 2 non FCS games played by UND last season:
NAIA Sioux Fall University 28 UND 13 xbangx
Texas Tech 38 UND 13 xhurrayx
Similar games but one was touted as a huge moral victory for the program, the other an embarrassing loss. It brings to mind these questions:
1) How did NAIA Sioux Falls compare to Texas Tech
2) How do you think NAIA Sioux Falls compares to Idaho or Norther Illinois, two FCS opponents of UND this season?
Southern Oregon was another non FCS game that UND won 28-24 in a real down to the wire "barn-burner. I think Souther Oregon is NAIA or possibly D2? How did they compare to Texas Tech and how do you think they would compare to your FCS opponents this year?

Im interested in your FBS matchups and I am using your past "bench marks" to get an opinion on how you think the divisions matchup. Hope I didnt touch a nerve or something but you did contain the NAIA school better than the FBS opponent, although both were losing efforts. Not many D1 football schools have the perspective you do. Losing to both an NAIA team and an FCS team in the same year is unique. Naturally there is going to be curiosity about the comparison to the FCS and the NAIA, especially since both losses were so similar.

JBB our season was very inconsistant. We had a QB taking all the snaps for the first time this year. We played a FBS team that challenged for a national title in 2008 in Texas Tech and to play a FBS team for the first time in over 30 years in their backyard is very intimidating. So when we were only down by 15 early in the 4th quarter but gave up 10 points very late was a moral victory. Our game against Sioux Falls proved no team should be overlooked and thats what UND did. We got outplayed by a team that was at the top of the NAIA football world. I would not compare the NAIA to the FBS but i could compare them to some of the bottom tier teams in the FCS...plus the game was in our house (very embarrassing). This season we have 2 FBS teams, 8 FCS teams and 1 D2 team, we are still filtering out the D2 players so our team is getting better. Also maybe the fact there is nothing to play for but a GWFC title has some sort of mental play in some players we can't play for a national title no matter how good we are (NDSU 2007). Which IMO is BS if you are that good you should be able to play for it all. But I hope this answers your questions on the insite of the 2009 and the upcoming 2010 Sioux seasons.

The TTech game was over in the first 6 minutes. The SFU game was over at the half.
Im surprised none of UND FCS games made this list. There are a lot of FCS/FBS match ups this year most are ho-hummers or flying under the radar I guess?
Although NDSU @ Kansas is on the list it could turn into a real good football game. NDSU could have a very explosive football team this season. It could be an interesting matchup.
When the dust settles on the FBS/FCS games there will be a record of the huge blowouts. I know 25 points isnt considered a blow out at some schools, in fact some have claimed a victory with that type of losing margin, but a loss by 3 TDs is a route in most score books. When we get a chance to see the biggest FBS blowouts against the FCS we will know which 12 match-ups were actually the worst.
Im just hoping for a great game at Kansas like we saw at Wyoming and Iowa State. Both schools matched up well with the BISON and provided an exciting afternoon of football right up to the closing gun. Those were not great NDSU football teams but they still represented themselves well in those FCS losses. This year we may be crawling out from under the cloud and field a team that can live up to its potential. If that happens the Jayhawk fans could have an afternoon reminiscent of the UND fans when the University of Sioux Falls provided an afternoon of entertainment for their fans in Grand Forks last year.

The TTech game was over in the first 6 minutes. The SFU game was over at the half.
Im surprised none of UND FCS games made this list. There are a lot of FCS/FBS match ups this year most are ho-hummers or flying under the radar I guess?

So when UND scored with 13 minutes left in the game it was 28-13....2 TD's in 13 minutes...far from over buddy. As for your game with KU...blowout in favor of KU. Your 3-8 team will get their butts kicked back to reality then you and Lakes can come up with a thousand reasons why NDSU should have won if they did this play or put this player in. And just for the record 6 minutes into the first quarter the score was TT 7 UND 0. Yep it was over wasn't it.
