FBS Game- 2015

[Dane96]

Who knows what the landscape will look like in 2015...but with schedules planned in advance, I am guessing we have a team locked in already.

 

"Entering their first season in the CAA, the Great Danes plan to embrace the role of the underdog. UAlbany, who had 35 scholarships as a member of the NEC, has moved up to 54 scholarships for the 2013 season. While it is more, it is still well under the 63 limit that a majority of the CAA programs are at. UAlbany looks to average 57 scholarships across the next two seasons in order to play an FBS opponent in 2015 and have that game count in the opposition’s bowl eligibility."

Very cool

UB perhaps?

[Dane96]

Hopefully NOT. We need a 500-750k payday. Not UB, which would offer at the low end of that at best...and would hurt us in recruiting if indeed we lost. No win situation early on. 2016-17 or 18...yeah.

An SEC or ACC team is our best bet for 2015. Start playing MAC in 2017 when we'll have a full roster of scholarships and recruiting classes. Then they become winnable.

Could we schedule two (or even three) FBS schools in one season?

 

For example, I like the idea of playing a (1) BCS school, in addition to (2) SUNY Buffalo and/or UMASS.

 

I'll be disappointed if we don't get our I-90 rivalries scheduled on a somewhat regular basis.

Absolutely, if you want to schedule yourself out of the playoffs. The extra D-I win OOC is important. That's what most CAA teams schedule 1 FBS, 1 top tier FCS and 2 Lowe tier FCS (PL, NEC) teams out of conference. 3 games they should Winn.
