2020 FCS vs. FBS Payouts

2020 FCS vs. FBS Payouts

NDSU, Oregon Athletics

FCS vs. FBS games are good for college football. While some FBS fans and media can argue against them, Jimbo Fisher nailed it when he said these matchups need to continue happening.

A majority of FCS programs depend on the guaranteed payouts to support their budget. Some teams schedule two FBS opponents a year, which hurts their chances at a playoff bid but helps the football program and its athletic department’s operating costs.

Plus, it’s an opportunity for teams and players to showcase the level of play in the FCS with a lot of these games being competitive and several resulting in upsets.

  • Every FCS Over FBS (And I-AA Over I-A) Win
  • Who Has The Most FCS Over FBS Wins Since 1990?
  • Who Has The Most FBS vs. FCS Losses Since 1990?

There are 114 FCS vs. FBS games in the 2020 season. This number is going up compared to recent years, with 114 matchups last year, 111 in 2018 and 98 in 2017.

What the 2020-21 college football season looks like is still a mystery. A late start to the season threatens a good chunk of these games. Still, we thought it would be interesting to track down as many FCS vs. FBS payouts as possible.

We will continue to update this when we get more payout figures. For right now, here are 70 of them.
