2012-2013 CAA & FCS Playoffs Football Thread

[bushwack]

I'm headed to the ODU game tonight. Should be a hell of a year heading into c-usa.

Technically we won't fully be in C-USA until 2015. This is our last year to win a National Championship at the FCS level, then we have a 2 year transitional period in 2013 & 2014, and then a full member or C-USA in 2015.

Results from today's games:
UVA 43 vs. Richmond 19
Maryland 7 vs. W&M 6
JMU 55 vs. St. Francis (PA) 7
ODU 57 vs. Duquense 23

Overall this week the CAA was 4-5.

We will begin playing C-USA teams next year though, correct?

Possibly, but not necessarily. Next year's schedule will be made up of both FBS & FCS teams. We're in scramble mode to find opponents, especially FBS opponents who usually have their OOC games scheduled years in advance.

I don't know if any C-USA teams will be in the mix, but we won't be playing a normal C-USA schedule until 2015. I know we'll be getting some assistance in 2014 from C-USA when it comes to scheduling, but I'm not sure about next season.

Well lets roll down to ECU, they are 3 hours away!

I can't wait until we start C-USA play and that rivalry begins. Tailgating down there will be great, and it will be nice to have a rival that's not 8 hours away.

WAHOO! JMU vs. WVU cannot wait. I've been mentally tailgating for weeks hah. Let's go DUKES!

Leopards with the huge upset vs William and Mary. Pretty big win for a non-scholarship program. Hopefully I can post in this thread at the end of the season with Lafayette playing a CAA team in the playoffs.

Crowd at Towson is pathetic, especially for a conference game that is on national television.
