[QUOTE="SoCal_GT_Fan, post: 31016, member: 365"] I read the article below in ESPN where Bobinski explained why teams in the ACC (and possibly the SEC) will likely be playing against FCS teams in the foreseeable future: [url]http://espn.go.com/blog/acc/post/_/id/55655/acc-plans-on-continuing-fcs-games[/url] [I]"Geographically the Big Ten has a different set up.
