FCS over FBS Predictions - Week 3 2013

[89Hen]

has any fcs team played an fbs team at home?

I'd have to go back and look at the exact timing but it seems like we hosted Idaho @ home after they moved up.

It's somewhere in the annals of AGS or CS, but I think your last hosting of Idaho was it.

GFSIU, it used to happen all the time. UD hosted Navy and Temple in the same year ('85).

William & Mary's last 1-A home opponent was Temple in 1984, the year W&M moved to the 1-AA classification.

I'm sure it doesn't make financial sense to play an ACC team in Williamsburg--both teams make far more playing the game in their stadium.

(Georgia State might be a different story.)

And every FCS team plays on the road and gives up at least 22 schollies. Pretty damn impressive.

wouldn't it be interesting to see what those percentages would be if FCS teams played FBS teams at home. If EWU played WSU & UW at home EWU would have won both games.

also what are the percentages of FBS teams winning road games against FBS foes? bc maybe 10-17% is the norm.

Division I teams hosting other Div I teams at the same level don't win 83-90% of the time.
Big 5 hosting Big 5, Non Big 5 hosting non Big 5, full scholly I-AA hosting full scholly I-AA, the road team doesn't only win 10-17% of the time & the home team win 83-90% of the time. Probably more like 55/45.

Below article points out that I-A teams win about 60% of home games, but that includes BCS hosting an
inordinate # of games with non BCS, and I-AA games.

My point still stands.

Eh, depends on what your definition of impressive is. I find I-AA winning historically about 10% of the time, neither impressive nor unimpressive, but about what I would expect. Sure are always on the road and sans 22 schollies, but do have the advantage of the I-A teams often taking them lightly and not getting up to play the I-AA..

has any fcs team played an fbs team at home?

Weber has played home to Utah State a few times, but I think that was before the classifications of 1A and 1AA

[EWURanger]

has any fcs team played an fbs team at home?

I remember EWU hosting Idaho in the late 90's at Joe Albi, which was our home venue at the time.

The last one that comes to mind for SIU was New Mexico State (1983). We beat them 41-3 and they haven't been back.
