Best records against a single FBS played more than once?

[PaladinFan]

I was reading the press release for the television announcement of the Furman v. South Carolina game this season:

"The Paladins defeated the Gamecocks, 28-23, in 1982 in the last meeting between the two schools. South Carolina owns a 26-20-1 advantage over Furman in a series that began in 1892 with a 44-0 Furman victory."

Any other FCS programs own that kind of record against an FBS school? I knew Furman hasn't played USC since the early 80s (excuse me, USC has refused to play us since we whipped their tails), but I was pretty impressed as to how close that series has been over nearly 50 games.

I heard OL FU was even at that 1892 clash. :) Apparently there was no Sir Paladin as horses had not yet been introduced to the New World.

[Bogus Megapardus]

I know that Colgate is 31-29-5 vs. Syracuse. They meet again this year. Lafayette is 30-41-1 vs. Rutgers. Lehigh and Lafayette both have winning records vs. West Virginia. Temple has never beaten Lehigh or Lafayette.

And Lafayette has never been defeated by either Richmond or Villanova, but that's a story for another day . . . . xnottalkingx

[TheValleyRaider]

I know that Colgate is 31-29-5 vs. Syracuse. They meet again this year.

Still leading the all-time series, though we haven't met since 1987
xthumbsupx

We're also:
15-27 vs. Rutgers (1933-1993, which includes the unfortunate events in Giants Stadium 1976 and the hammering we gave them the next year)
4-9-1 vs. Penn State (1911-1980)
4-1 vs. Michigan State (last meeting 1930)
5-22-2 vs. Army (1903-1997)
0-9 vs. Duke (1936-1991)
1-4 vs. Tulane (1933-1937)
8-7 vs. Buffalo, though only 1-0 since they made the move up
4-3 vs. UConn, though only 0-1 since they made the move up
1-0 vs. Florida Atlantic (2003 Semis, their last ever I-AA game :D)

Plus one or two games against Akron, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Northwestern, Ohio State, Pitt, Temple, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, mostly from back when we were really big time in the 1920s through 1940s

[TexasTerror]

Only did significant amounts of games...TXST for instance is 3-0 against Houston, but did not include.

McNeese State
33-10-1 against Louisiana-Monroe
20-15-2 against Louisiana-Lafayette

Northwestern State
28-19-1 against Louisiana-Monroe
11-11 against Southern Miss

Southeastern Louisiana
25-10 against Louisiana-Monroe

Princeton leads its all-time series with Rutgers by a wide margin - I need to check.

[Bogus Megapardus]

Princeton leads its all-time series with Rutgers by a wide margin - I need to check.

Princeton leads its series with Rutgers 53-17-1. The Tigers also are 18-12-6 over Navy (and, embarrassingly, 37-4-3 over my beloved Pards).

[Gringer1]

Richmond is 11-13 against East Carolina.
Georgia Southern is 2-1 over Western Kentucky, 2-2 against UL-Monroe, 7-4 versus Middle Tennessee, 2-0 versus South Florida, and 2-0 versus Nevada. These wins ocurred when the teams were all FCS, so I'm not sure how to score it.

[Tribe4SF]

W&M's best against...

Duke 6-1
Arkansas 2-1
Maryland 2-1
Marshall 2-1-1
Wake Forest 9-10-1
NC State 8-9

...and our most frequently played...

Va Tech 18-40-4

[T-Dog]

App is 19-11 against ECU all-time, although the last win came is 1975.

14-8 against Marshall. 4-1 against WKU. And we've beaten Wake Forest at least 4 times since the FCS/FBS split in 1978.

[TheBisonator]

NDSU is 2-0 versus the MAC conference (Ball State and Central Michigan).

[superman7515]

and even before the Ivy League era (note: some dates are going to let you nosebleed):
Michigan - 4-4 (1942)
Stanford - 0-1 (1949)
Texas - 1-0 (1931)
Penn State - 3-0-2 (1932)
Navy - 1-1-3 (1941)
UNH - 7-0 (1939 xeekx)
Oregon - 1-0 (Harvard's only Rose Bowl, 1920)
Virginia - 8-1 (1947; last game was L for us)
Vandy - 1-0 (1912)
Valparaiso - 1-0 (1920)
UNC (North Carolina) - 2-0 (1928)
UConn - 1-0 (1946)
Davidson - 3-0 (1953)
Indiana - 2-0 (1927)
Georgia - 1-0 (1921)
Florida - 2-0 (1929)
Maine - 11-0 (1920)
Purdue - 0-1 (1927)
Rhode Island - 1-0 (1923)

And we have played some that have discontinued football and may never will return again:
Northeastern - 7-1 (2004)
Vermont - 2-0 (1930)

Well, we also have played a Japanese university:
Kyoto - 1-0 (1997)

Some other opponents were against prep schools, military camps and Division III schools.

Not that this info matters for the upcoming season, but this is the topic of the thread.

Princeton University boasts one of the most storied football traditions in America. The Princeton Tigers played in the very first college football game in 1869 against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. From there, the Tigers went on to win a string of national titles into the 1920's giving the Tigers the most Division 1-A National Championships in the country
1869, 1870, 1872, 1873, 1874, 1875, 1877,
1878,1879,1880, 1881, 1884, 1885, 1886,

Dang that was cold :-)

And we didn't need horses, but we invented Yosef and later gave him to Appalachian since we were called the Mountaineers in them thar days.

[PhoenixSupreme]

Elon doesn't have much of a record against current FBS schools, including winless records against NC St., Duke, and Wake Forest. However Elon is 1-2 against the U (win coming from 1928) and South Florida (win coming from 1997). We are also 9-9 against East Carolina

[ursus arctos horribilis]

I'm only using a couple from the recent FCS/FBS format not from the way back machine where they weren't separated and everybody was in basically the same division.

Griz are 2-0 against Oregon St. and the last game in 1996 we were punishing them until garbage time.
Griz are 4-1 against Idaho since they went FBS in 1996.

[lionsrking2]

Only did significant amounts of games...TXST for instance is 3-0 against Houston, but did not include.

McNeese State
33-10-1 against Louisiana-Monroe
20-15-2 against Louisiana-Lafayette

Northwestern State
28-19-1 against Louisiana-Monroe
11-11 against Southern Miss

Southeastern Louisiana
25-10 against Louisiana-Monroe

I believe we're also 15-12-2 vs UL-Lafayette...last time we played them, we shut them out 7-0 in the mud, in 1981.

We're 9-8 vs Troy.

2-0 vs Western Kentucky.

We're also 1-0 vs Boise State and Auburn.

2-1 vs Central Florida.

1-1 vs Memphis

6-25 vs Louisiana Tech, though most of them were close.

3-16 vs Southern Miss and a lot of those were close.

[SFA 93]

SFA vs HOUSTON 2-1-0 (1946-1948)
SFA vs TROY 3-3-0 (1993-2000)
SFA vs CENTRAL FLORIDA 1-0-0 (1985)
SFA vs FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL 1-1-0 (2003-2004)

I know these teams were not all FBS back in the day, but they are now.

Not to be a nitpicker but... the ncaa didnt split into divisions until 1955. None of those could possibly be a 1-A national championship. Its either small college or large college i think.

[ValleyChamp]

UNI is 3-0 against Kansas State. With all wins coming in the last 25 years.

Monroe has stunk it up for years, it looks like. Why in the world did they move to FBS?

[darell1976]

The only winning record against any FBS team we have:

1-0 vs N. Illinois only meeting 1965 (we play them this year)

The only non losing records vs FBS teams

1-1-1 vs UNLV last meeting 1977
0-0-1 vs Oregon only meeting 1931

[PhoenixSupreme]

Monroe has stunk it up for years, it looks like. Why in the world did they move to FBS?

But LA-Monroe did beat Bama one year...granted Bama went 6-6 that year
