Toughest 2023 FCS Schedules - HERO Sports

Toughest 2023 FCS Schedules

Using Massey's tool that factors all future games, here are the toughest FCS schedules heading into the 2023 season.

CAA owns that 49–64 range with the Spiders unsurprisingly on the weaker side.

Elon at 37, Campbell/Stony Brook at 39/40, Albany at 43 in their only little group above the rest.

Their support team is larger in numbers than most FCS squads.

 

[SFspidur]

Seems only fair it should be the support team that suits up and plays against us then.

Dang. I've been called a goat before too, but pondering if the context may have been different. 😮

 

[SpiderRick]

8-3 seems like a safe, conservative approach that could be derived just looking at the names of the teams.

I'd say the 8-3 he picks is the most likely outcome, but doubt that we'll get there on the exact route he predicts.

My guess is we'll stumble somewhere along the line (think Elon last year), probably pull some out of the fire (think Delaware last year) and somehow go to Cary Field for the Indians at 7-3, 5-2...or 8-2, 5-1...

Best case scenario, just like last year, the CAA Championship should be decided November 18 on The Reservation.

Go Spiders!

8-3.....nice call

that's half the battle right there, you can't really control when the invite for a conference upgrade might come along but you can control things like they mentioned in that article to put yourself in the best position when opportunity knocks.
