FCS programs will play their FBS counterparts 115 times this upcoming season. Of course, this means a nice little pay day for the smaller programs. It could also mean a victory that catapults the program into the news cycle for at least a few weeks, and creates memories for those fans and players for a lifetime.
Last year Montana notably topped ranked Washington in Seattle to send the college football world into a frenzy. East Tennessee State blew out Vanderbilt in surprising fashion and UC Davis also snuck away with a win at Tulsa. These sorts of upsets aren't unheard of by any means and there will undoubtedly be more as we head into a new year.
