Yikes. So many Thurs/Fri FCS match ups. 

Which one has the best shot of beating their FBS opponent (aside from Montana State, who already won)?

I looked up Bowden's record at FSU.  I think they were indy back then, but playing a solid slate usually.  He had pretty rapid success, a couple down seasons, but a lot of up seasons even before their Big Run.


Yes, it was easier to do as an independent, but even after 11-1 and 10-2 seasons, FSU scheduled this in 1981:
@ 17 Nebraska
bye
@ 7 Ohio St
@ ND
@ 3 Pitt
@ LSU

They went out and earned their respect.  Anti-Kansas St scheduling.  They went 3-2 in those games, but they were willing to earn it on the road.

I don't think the FSU path can be duplicated today by anyone.

Where do you guess FSU goes from here?  Are they still a pretty decent team, or just mediocre, or worse?  Wrose case, I think, they lose to BC and spiral downwards, and even up 4-8.  The BC game could be pivotal for team morale.  Memphis won't be a pastry.

Meh.

ND is over-rated as usual, and it's a quasi-conference game anyway. FSU didn't schedule it. The ACC did.

Memphis, Charleston Southern and Florida ain't murderous.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

Having P4 teams on one's schedule is credible even if they happen to be off that year.  They COULD lose any of those but CSU.
