The Unofficial Furman Football Page

By my rough count, there are at least 54 FCS teams playing FBS teams this weekend (23) and next weekend (31) combined.
This weekend, some of those FCS vs FBS games are:
Delaware - Navy
Sam Houston State (still FCS until 2023) - TAMU\
SDSU - Iowa
Richmond - UVA
UNI - Air Force
SE Missouri State - Iowa State
Bethune-Cookman - Miami FL
NDSU - Nebraska
UC Davis - UC Berkeley
Mercer - Auburn
SDSU - Kansas State
Illinois State - Wisconsin
Albany - Baylor
Elon - Vanderbilt
Maine - New Mexico
Murray State - Texas Tech
Colgate - Stanford
Idaho - Washington State

Next weekend (September 10 weekend), some of those FCS vs FBS games are:
Furman - Clemson
Samford - Georgia
Western Illinois - Minnesota
Southern Utah - Utah
Kennesaw State - Cincinnati
Northern Colorado - Wyoming
Wagner - Rutgers
Indiana State - Purdue
Portland State - Washington
Alcorn State - UCLA
Incarnate Word - Nevada
Robert Morris - Miami OH
Gardner-Webb - Coastal Carolina
Weber State - Utah State
Western Carolina - Georgia Tech
Lamar - SMU
Howard - USF
Alcorn State - Tulane
Central Arkansas - Ole Miss
Southern - LSU
Idaho - Indiana University
Idaho State - San Diego State
Tarleton State - TCU
Eastern Washington - Oregon

I got a little excited about Nebraska losing again this week, but found out the game was against North Dakota, not North Dakota State.

Don’t be surprised with a close Mercer at Auburn game.

Thanks for catching my error. I apologize for it.

….and we have the first FBS scalp. Future FU opponent William & Mary knocked off Charlotte handily 41-24.

Scalp number 2. Delaware 14 Navy 7

As of today 9/6/2022, here is how Sagarin football ratings rank the bottom half (17) of the 34 conferences' ratings:

18 CONF-USA
(all the top half [17] are FBS conferences; CUSA is the only FBS conference in the bottom half; all the remaining bottom half are FCS; therefore, SoCon is #4 of 16 FCS conferences, similar to how Big Ten East is #4 of 18 FBS conferences)
19 MISSOURI VALLEY
20 BIG SKY
21 ASUN
22 SOUTHERN
23 IVY LEAGUE

27 OHIO VALLEY
28 BIG SOUTH
29 PATRIOT
30 SWAC-WEST
31 SWAC-EAST
32 NORTHEAST
33 MID-EASTERN
34 PIONEER
And as of today, FBS conferences rank as follows, per Sagarin:
1 SEC-WEST
2 BIG 12
3 SEC-EAST
4 BIG TEN-EAST
5 PAC-12 SOUTH
6 PAC-12 NORTH
7 ACC-ATLANTIC
8 BIG TEN-WEST (A) = 75.21 75.65 ( 8) 7 75.56 ( 8)

Scalp number 2. Delaware 14 Navy 7

Time for someone to update the FCS programs that got FBS scalps yesterday.
I know that Holy Cross beat Buffalo in an interesting end.
I also know that Nevada lost to Incarnate Word, and that Eastern Kentucky beat Bowling Green in 7 (seven) overtimes.
Coastal Carolina at home nearly got beat by Gardner-Webb.
Hopefully someone will provide scores and perhaps other details of the above and of any other scalps from yesterday.

Saturday, Sept. 17
Abilene Christian Missouri
Arkansas-Pine Bluff Oklahoma State
Bucknell Central Michigan
Campbell East Carolina
Duquesne Hawai'i
Jacksonville State Tulsa
Long Island University Kent State
Maine Boston College
Missouri State Arkansas
Montana State Oregon State
Murray State Ball State
North Carolina A&T Duke
North Dakota State Arizona
Northwestern State Southern Miss
Stony Brook UMass
Southern Illinois Northwestern
Tennessee State Middle Tennessee
Towson West Virginia
UT Martin Boise State
Villanova Army
Wofford Virginia Tech
Youngstown State Kentucky

Will Wofford make it 3 games without scoring?
