Offseason in the FCS

[s--k]

FCS vs FBS (selectively copied from Fear the FCS)

The 121 FCS-FBS matchups in 2024 were a record. There were six FCS over FBS wins in 2024, which is two higher than in 2023 but below the 8 recorded in 2022 and half of 2021’s 12 FCS wins.

The average margin of defeat for the FCS in 2024 was 31.09 points per game, which is the second worst behind 2018’s average margin of 31.13. The other stat was the number of games in which FCS teams were shut out by their FBS opponents. In 2024, it happened 17 times, which is one less than the record of 18 set in 2022. Those two are worth keeping an eye on to see if things improve following roster limit implementations under the House settlement.

2024 FCS Versus FBS Matchups in Review

The 2024 FCS season is entering the playoffs so let’s provide a recap of all 121 FCS versus FBS matchups this year. The 121 FCS-FBS matchups in 2024 were a record and the 2025 season already has over…

fearthefcs.com

Chart on the link above is sortable for FBS pt totals vs FCS teams, FBS teams scored 40+ pts vs their FCS opponents 62% of the time (75 out of 121 games), in 32 of those games or 26% overall the FBS team scored 50+ pts.


I don't know the exact numbers, but I do know many times the FBS team gets the full game Over themselves when they play FCS. I may look into that for last year's numbers.

By my count the FCS ATS vs FBS 2024 59-60-2 on closing offshore lines that I recorded from maddux sports. That record includes two FCS teams that were favored over the FBS (Montana State -13 at NewMex (no cover) and UT Martin -1.5 at Kennesaw (cover)). I may dig into these numbers further detail. I didn't keep track of 1H and 2H lines last year, not sure if any of the online ATS tracking sites did?

ESPN first reported Wednesday that Sac State was planning on filing a waiver to transition from the FCS to the FBS, which was later confirmed by university president Luke Wood to the Sacramento Bee.

The plan is to play football in the FCS' Big Sky in 2025 before jumping to the FBS in 2026 as an independent. It would then be eligible for the FBS postseason in 2027. Life as an independent in the FBS isn't easy, so the end goal would be to join a conference, potentially the MW. In recent months, Sac State has laid out an ambitious plan to invest heavily into athletic, including a potential $200 million to $250 million new football stadium. Making the transition to the FBS comes with a $5 million fee plus spending a minimum of $6 million annually on scholarships.

Sac State’s Path To FBS Independent Approval​

Last week, Sacramento State filed an application with the NCAA to transition from the FCS to be an FBS independent member. The school had already filed a waiver to make this transition, which is required because a team needs a conference invite to move from the FCS to the FBS.

It’s important to note that this is not necessarily an NCAA office decision on whether or not to grant Sac State a waiver. These sorts of decisions go through a voting/approval process from different committees, boards, and/or councils with representatives from schools and conferences.

Sac State’s approval process will start with the FBS Oversight Committee, which is made up of mostly FBS conference/school admins. It would then go to the Division I Council, which is made up of conference/school admins from 32 D1 conferences.

The FBS Oversight Committee’s next meeting is on April 10.

It’s no secret that FBS leaders, especially those in the Power 4, do not want to see the FBS grow by adding more FCS teams. Some within the Mountain West Conference wanted to add North Dakota State, but MWC presidents instead voted to invite Northern Illinois as a football-only member, and a big reason for that was wanting to add an already-established FBS program.

Sac State has a strong pitch to join the FBS as an independent due to its location, facility upgrades, and reported community financial support.

However, its fate is essentially up to other FBS schools and conference representatives. Will these FBS leaders deny Sac State’s request to join their subdivision as an independent? Will a “no” answer result in a lawsuit from Sac State, so they’ll say “yes” to avoid that headache? Is there a concern of opening the floodgates and a precedent if they say yes and we see other FCS programs try to take this same FBS independent route? How does the future pathway from FCS to FBS look as NCAA governance sees some changes?

It’ll certainly be interesting to see how it unfolds. Liberty was able to make a similar jump in the 2010s. Sac State hopes to follow that same path. FCS Daily Dose: Sac State's Path To FBS Independent Approval + USD Loses 2 Standouts + SDSU Adds Key OL Transfer

Of the 128 FCS programs for the 2025 season, 94 schools will play at least one FBS team in 2025. 63 will play one FBS opponent, 30 will play two FBS foes, and one team (UT Martin courtesy of Missouri State moving to Conference USA) will play three FBS teams. A full breakdown of matchups by FCS and FBS conferences can be found at the bottom of the page. There are currently no week zero FCS-FBS matchups scheduled while week one has “only” 47 games, noticeably lower than the record of 59 opening week games in 2024.

The Ivy League and Pioneer Football League are not scheduled to play any FBS opponents in 2025. In addition to the 19 combined teams from the Ivy League and PFL without an FBS opponent, 15 other FCS programs do not have an FBS team lined up for 2025: Georgetown (Patriot) Hampton (MEAC), Lehigh (Patriot), Mercyhurst (NEC), Mississippi Valley State (SWAC), Montana (Big Sky), North Dakota State (MVFC), Sacred Heart (Independent), South Dakota State (MVFC), Southern Utah (UAC), Stonehill (NEC), Tennessee State (OVC-Big South), Utah Tech (UAC), UTRGV (Southland), and West Georgia (UAC). The list could change as schedules are finalized.

Every FBS conference is slated to face at least one FCS program and 10 FBS teams are not scheduled to play against an FCS opponent in 2025: Colorado (Big 12), Michigan (Big Ten), Notre Dame (Independent), Sam Houston State (C-USA), Stanford (ACC), Texas (SEC), Tulane (American), UCLA (Big Ten), USC (Big Ten), and Wisconsin (Big Ten). That number could change as schedules are finalized for the 2025 season.

Above is from Fear the FCS - 2025 FCS Versus FBS Matchups

I'm in no position yet to formulate any opinions as I haven't looked in-depth at the transfer portal moves. The spring portal movements are significant and I'm just letting the dust settle on all the moves until I see who is gone or who is new.

Last year was disappointing in that only 6 FCS teams pulled upsets. I had thought there could be as many as 10-12 last summer I believe. There were some very close calls:

ACU failed on a 2pt play in OT to lose to Texas Tech by 1

UCA lost with :03 on a Central Arkansas TD catch that was actually incomplete, but the TD was upheld

UTC only lost by 3 at Georgia State although it didn't really feel like they were capable of winning it

Gardner Webb was up 20-3 3Q on Charlotte, but then trailed 20-27. GW scored TD in the final minute, but went for 2 and failed to lose by 1. (GW +41 ttl yards). Previously GW only lost to JMU 6-13 (GW only -16 ttl yards).

NDSU led CU 20-17 at HT and only lost by 5 (NDSU -55 ttl yards)

Tennessee Tech was down 0-21, but led 25-24 with 1:06 left, before MTSU scored TD with :16 for the win

That is 6 more that the FCS could've got. Although in fairness, Southern Utah's win at UTEP was possible because UTEP missed two FGs at the end of regulation and in OT. And FIU fumbled just before crossing the goal line going into the EZ trailing by 3 with just :32 left in the game. So a couple lucky wins there perhaps.

I haven't watched the NFL draft in many years. I do have interest now in seeing what FCS guys get picked. This article was pretty good documenting the decline in FCS draft picks the last several years with the transfer portal being the primary factor. OL is still an area that FCS prospects are still getting drafted at the same rate.

“I am not saying this because I coached the O-line for a lot of years,” Ferrante said, “but I believe the reason the offensive line position has stayed is because the guys that play O-line are probably the most loyal guys that play the game. They don’t care as much about the ‘headlines’ and don’t have the same level of ‘ego’ that other positional players have.”


Said Polasek: “Most FCS offensive linemen are lacking something when they are high school sophomores, and that is who the P4’s (FBS Power Four conferences) are recruiting. They lack either strength, height and/or weight. Their confidence grows with success, and that takes time for process and potential to come together.”

FCS OL prospects will be the first off the board from the subdivision next week, 4 of the top 5 likely FCS draft picks are expected to be OL.

Only 8 strictly FCS players drafted. There were 15 total if you count those that transferred up and spent just 1 year at FBS, which a lot of people in FCS media count as an FCS draft pick if they spent 2023 at FCS and 2024 at FBS. They do not however count players who spent multiple years at FBS after transferring up (like Cam Ward or Travis Hunter).

I don't like counting guys who played their final year at FBS after transferring up, personally I think only pure FCS non-transfer picks should count.

The 8 strictly FCS players:

Rd 1 - Zabel OL NDSU
Rd 3 - Grant OL W&M
Rd 4 - Walker DE UCA
Rd 5 - Vinson OL Ala AM
Rd 5 - Slater OL SacSt
Rd 6 - Mellot QB MSU
Rd 6 - Miller QB NDSU
Rd 7 - Bergen WR-AP Mont

Now everyone else gets their shots at camp invites and free agent deals. Makes preseason a little more interesting to see how some guys do and who makes the cuts. And interesting that the Raiders selected both Mellot and Miller (the two legendary QBs at their respective programs who faced off vs eachother in the Championship game this past January).

By my count the FCS ATS vs FBS 2024 59-60-2 on closing offshore lines that I recorded from maddux sports. That record includes two FCS teams that were favored over the FBS (Montana State -13 at NewMex (no cover) and UT Martin -1.5 at Kennesaw (cover)). I may dig into these numbers further detail.

I did dig in further to 2024:

FCS vs ACC -- 9-6-1 ATS, 9-7 Over on closing line
FCS vs Big 10 -- 6-7 ATS, 10-3 Under
FCS vs Big Xll -- 9-5 ATS, 7-7 Totals
FCS vs Pac-2 -- 1-1 ATS, 1-1 Totals
FCS vs SEC -- 3-11-1 ATS, 11-3-1 Over

FCS vs P4 competition 28-30-2 ATS
Overs FCS vs P4 31-28-1 (13 shutouts)

FCS vs AAC -- 5-8 ATS, 8-5 Under
FCS vs CUSA -- 6-2 ATS (3 outright FCS wins), 5-3 Under
FCS vs MAC -- 4-7 ATS (1 outright FCS win), 6-5 Under
FCS vs MWC -- 8-5 ATS (2 outright FCS wins), 8-5 Over
FCS vs Sun Belt -- 7-6 ATS, 9-3-1 Under
FCS vs Independent -- 1-2 ATS, 2-1 Over

FCS vs G5 + Ind competition 31-30 ATS
Overs FCS vs G5 + Ind 26-34-1 (4 shutouts)

7 of the FCS 9 covers vs ACC came by 3 pts or less. The 9 covers the FCS had vs the Big Xll came by an average of 11.27. 3 of the 6 FCS covers vs the Big 10 were by 2.5 pts or less.

SEC not only dominated their FCS opponents last year to the 11-3-1 record, but when they covered they did so by an average of 13.86 ppg, it would be higher but dominent wins by Bama vs Mercer, UK vs Murray, Mizzou vs Murray and SC vs Wofford skew the overall spread margin of victory down due to the high spreads in those games (avg margin of victory 45.5 in those 4, but avg cover in those by just 1.25). 7 of the 11 covered by more than a TD and 6 of 11 covered by 19.5 or more. The 3 FCS teams that covered vs SEC did so by 13ppg, which is aided by Nicholls 23.5 pt cover vs LSU. The other two FCS covers vs SEC in McNeese and Tenn Tech were by 5.5 and 10 respectively in which they did so despite being shutout in the first halfs of both those games.

There were also 11 Overs in the SEC vs FCS games and of those 11 Overs, 7 SEC teams got the game Over themselves. 4 of the 15 games were shutouts.

All told of the 31 Overs in FCS v P4 games, 14 P4 teams got the Over themselves (and 7 of those 14 were SEC). In the G5 games there were 26 Overs, but only 6 of those teams got the game total themselves.

Further on totals, the Big 10 was opposite the SEC in that 10 of their 13 games went Under with 5 shutouts. Counting 1H and 2Hs seperately, Big 10 teams shutout their FCS opponents in 17 of the 26 total halves. 5 of these 13 games were shutouts.

William & Mary to join the Patriot League for football in 2026. This is on the heels of Richmond also leaving the CAA for the Patriot League (this year). CAA lost Delaware to the FBS this year. Only 5 of the original CAA teams remain. Adding MEAC teams and the likes of Bryant to bolster the conference hasn't sat well with the powers that be. Will be interesting to see who else is moving somewhere. Hampton and NC A&T should move back the MEAC where they belong with their other HBCU rivals which would make the MEAC better as well.

6 FBS + FCS games did not complete 55 minutes so therefore the ATS and o/u were not paid out by most places, and should be omitted from record keeping for that reason. The action would have been voided.

Wonderful work this offseason brother.
