      My favorite has to be in a few years when BYU plays a ROAD game at Liberty.

      At least it is at Foxboro, where UMass plays several games per year rather than in Amherst where UMass has a 17,000 seat stadium. No doubt it will take 65,000 seats to hold all the Mormons missionaries in Massachusetts and their investigators.

  I don’t know about favorite, but a couple that stand out to me:
  
  Florida plays two FCS teams – 9/1 vs Charleston Southern & 11/17 vs Idaho I don’t think this was intentional as Idaho probably didn’t have plans to drop to FCS when the game was scheduled.
  
  New Mexico State vs Liberty twice in the same season – 10/6 in Las Cruces, NM & 11/24 in Lynchburg, VA

    Not a quirk but SEC business-as-usual: Citadel at Alabama, Nov 17.
    
    Liberty at Auburn and UMass at Georgia, also Nov 17.
    
    How long until SEC recognises that TDS can be scheduled for a proper mid-November beatdown?

      Probably once Utah, Cal and Arizona start beating them down.

  One of the teams in McNeese State’s conference is a team I have never heard of. The name of the school is Incarnate Word. I thought I had heard of most colleges, but I admit I had never heard of this school. Here are a few facts about the school:
  
  – Located in San Antonio
  
  – 64% of the students are non-white (51% Hispanic, which makes sense in San Antonio)
  
  – They only won one football game last year
  
  – They averaged 21 points a game and gave up an average of 47 points a game
  
  I think BYU should try to scheule them. I am sure they would love the money they would get for playing in Provo and BYU would certainly get a win.

    I got my doctorate there haha. Ute and Cardinal alum. I never went to a football game at incarnate word, but a couple basketball games. My program wasnt on the main campus. But it is a pretty little campus especially at Christmas.
