Looking at Week One of FCS versus FBS in 2016

Some FCSers have a real chance and an FBS upset in Week One. Others will get fresh air and exercise.

As has become tradition in the first week of college football, many FBS teams will start their campaign at home with a money game against FCS teams.

Last season, we divided all 107 FCS vs FBS games into five tiers. The results were interesting with at least one upset from each tier. Here's the five tiers

  • Tier 1 - Very Possible.
  • Tier 2 - Eyebrow Raiser
  • Tier 3 - If The Ball Bounces Right
  • Tier 4 - Doubtful But Possible
  • Tier 5 - Good Grief.
