Re: FBS Conference Shuffling

So Texas State to the new Pac-12 is happening, and it sounds like the Sun Belt is likely to invite Louisiana Tech to replace them. Sun Belt already has UL Lafayette and UL Monroe as members. Despite the "Tech" name, Louisiana Tech is a part of the UL system.

Re: 12-game football seasons



Permanent 12-game FCS season has been approved by the NCAA, starting in 2026.





Will the season be starting earlier, ending later, or will the usual BYE WEEK be eliminated to allow for this 12th game ???



I believe what used to be "Week Zero" is now "Week 1". They'd been doing an "FCS ...

Re: FBS Conference Shuffling

Sounds like Texas State is getting a PAC 12 invite.

Other than Gonzaga, the new PAC12 will be the X State conference: Washington State and Oregon State, plus in 2026 Boise State, Fresno State, Colorado State, San Diego State, Utah State, and now likely Texas State. Texas State would be the league's ...

And play football in the UAC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Athletic_Conference
Although, SUU was a member of the Big Sky ...

Re: 2025 Season

Looking at the schedule from a "Massey perspective": https://masseyratings.com/cf2025/8754

Essentially no chance for both the Illinois and Northwestern games
87% chance of a win over Valpo
19% chance of a win at Eastern Washington

In the OVC, we have essentially a "coin flip" chance against ...
