Yes, I cannot recall when I have seen this before however; we still have four home conference game with four away conference games.

In the end Stony Brook was a horrible team last year and likely no better this year.  Looks like a potential road win.

[GreatDanes06]

I’m gonna say 8-4 on early prediction.

[ctdanes]

How are we scheduled for 12 games again? I thought fcs was 11 

[ctdanes]

I’m gonna say 7-5.

 

8-4 prob gets them into the dance again so fingers crossed

Depends on how early Labor Day is. ( depends on the number of weekends between the beginning of LD weekend, when the season starts, and Thanksgiving when the playoffs start.)

All FCS can play 12 this year. 

[UAalum72]

So a road FBS game (WVA), two road FCS (Idaho and Cornell) and a home FCS (LIU). Does Delaware count as a CAA game this year or as FBS, which could really screw up the standings?

[cwdickens]

According to a Delaware source, Delaware remains a member of CAA Football for this season.

I just read on fbs schedules about the schedule release,  deleware remains in caa in 2024, moves up in 2025. Not eligible for caa title or playoffs in 2024. 

As far as playing a team home or away 2 straight years, that has occasionally happened with all tge changes in conference size and alignment in recent years. Although I do not remember specific examples.

Do really thing the CAA schedulers really care if we play at SBU two years in a row .... no ... the Golden Apple Trophy is just a side-show. 

The high points of the schedule 

• Opening weekend game, likely 7:00 PM start, next touch for Labor Day Weekend
• September 28, a late September game, likely 4:00 PM usually nice weather, likely Parent's Weekend
• October 19, likely Homing-Alumni Weekend .... can be great weather or a wet mess of weather.
• November 2 .... I like an early November game, last full day of DST.
• November 23, last regular game of the season is at home.
• A great mix of teams, both non-conference and conference.

The low points of the schedule:

• Only three home games from late August to the end of October and only 5 home games overall
• The last home is November 23 .... the weather can be cold and snowy .... not the case in 2023 but 2024 may be a different story.

They're really pushing this "Undisputed Champs" trope, I imagine it annoys 'nova and UR, since "officially" it was a 3-way tie

Didn't say they care. Just saying when the size of the conference or the members change, the formula for rivals and the rotation of opponents changes even if priority of playing closer teams remains
