Which FBS Conferences Play FCS Opponents the Most in 2018?

Which FBS Conferences Play FCS Opponents the Most in 2018?

If you want to make the argument that the SEC and ACC are the two best conferences in the country, you probably wouldn't get laughed out of the room — especially since they produced three of last year's four playoff entrees. Isn't it funny, then, that these two juggernauts play the most FCS games in 2018?

The Southeastern Conference will play a whopping 15 games against FCS foes this season with the Atlantic Coast close behind with 14. 

What's especially interesting is that the other trio of Power 5 programs play only 19 combined FCS games while the SEC and ACC play a collective 29.

Other interesting tidbits:

  • The FCS pulled off nine upsets last year over FBS squads with the most impressive being James Madison's 34-14 thrashing of East Carolina.
  • Baylor was the only Power 5 program to go down when it lost its opener at home to Liberty.
  • Both Liberty and Army play two games against FCS teams this year (Note: The Flames were an FCS program last year but are transitioning to the FBS this season).
  • Florida is the only other FBS squad with two games against FCS schools, but they get a hall pass because a previously scheduled game against Idaho now looks a heck of a lot different with the Vandals moving from the Sun Belt to the Big Sky. Hopefully they'll get to actually play this time unlike 2014 when a massive storm cut the game down to the opening kickoff before it was canceled.
  • Here's where the Gators do not get a hall pass: They have 2019 matchups on the docket against both UT Martin and Towson in just September alone. Come on, man!
