IMO, UNI has the easiest, and SDSU the hardest.

Came here to say this. Looks like they scheduled themselves out of the playoffs yet again.

agreed... guaranteed 4 losses and counting, maybe 5

SIU has put themselves in a tough spot, with an FBS game and a DII they will likely have to go 8-1 to get into the playoffs. Why a team that has so much returning would schedule like that is beyond me.

They will probably be favored over Marshall. It is definately the most winnable of the FBS games and the commitee likes FBS wins so it might not be as crazy as it looks.

If they don't beat Marshall they will be in some trouble, having both SDSU and UNI on the road isn't going to make things any easier on them. My real gripe is with Southwest Baptist, you think they could find a Wagner College to kick around.

I just checked out SIU's board and it sounds like Lennon has said this will be their last DII game under his watch. Marshall by the way returns 15 starters.

I personally would like to see a few more of these on every MVFC teams OOC schedule those are the conferences we will need to beat to win a NC. also anyone notice no Big Fluffy Sky teams on any of these hmmmm.. glad we ain't in that league

In a few years there will be 14 teams in the CAA so there will be plenty of opportunities to schedule games.
