I don't know how to move it. Well,semi OT. There's an article in today's The Record (northjersey.com) about the B1G relaxing their rules on scheduling FCS games. The B1G had prohibited teams from scheduling FCS games. Now,in those seasons where a team only has 4 home conference games they can have a home FCS game. Remains to be seen how many teams take advantage of this. Sounds like Rutgers and other "weaker " teams will. This could affect B1G's trying to schedule other FBS teams.

In browsing through Phil Steele, I see that ALL SEC teams have an FCS team on the schedule. http://www.facebook.com/mikejohnson.author Back to Top rpbobcat General User Member Since: 4/28/2006 Location: Rochelle Park, NJ Post Count: 3,570 Status: Offline     RE: OT B1G Bactracking on FCS Games    Posted: 7/25/2017 3:25:12 PM  As I said in my original post,thanks for moving it by the way,it seems like the weaker teams in the B1G may do this,especially since I believe 1 FCS win counts for being bowl eligible. From what I've read,an FCS win does nothing as far as being in the hunt for the National Championship so I would think would discourage some schools from scheduling an FCS team. On the other hand,Rutgers is so desperate to be bowl eligible again they'd schedule a high school if they could.

They will rarely compete for a division title/trip to the Big 10 Championship game so getting to a bowl (even a low tier) is probably a more realistic thing to aim for. The teams that I wouldn't gripe about: Illinois Indiana Purdue Maryland Rutgers Teams that probably will, but shouldn't: Iowa Michigan State Minnesota Nebraska Northwestern Teams that have no business: Michigan TOSU Penn State Wisconsin *Michigan State I think could be put here, too. I know they were down last year but they've had arguably one of if not the best 5 or so year run in program history going prior to the 2016 season.

For example, Alabama opens with Florida State - tough game - and has Mercer the week before the Iron Bowl in November. What a day at the Convo.....Wow!
