LOL

And you can go further. Idaho lost to UNLV who lost to (FCS) Howard who lost to (FCS) Norfolk State who lost to (D2) Virginia State. From D2 to FBS champion in just 8 games. That's got to be a record.

I think you missed a game in there. Howard beat Norfolk State in 2017. So the chain is actually 10 games: Virginia State > Norfolk State > NC Central > Howard > UNLV > Idaho > South Alabama > Troy > LSU > Auburn > Alabama

Going back to 2016, there's actually a chain that was one game LESS to connect the FBS champion to D2.

Western Oregon > Sacramento State > Montana State > Montana > Northern Iowa > Indiana State > Illinois State > Northwestern > Pittsburgh > Clemson

And in 2014 (2015 had an undefeated FBS champion), there was a FBS Champion to D2 chain that had one less game than 2016. In this case, it's a link between the FBS Champion and the D2 Champion, which is kind of cool:

Colorado State-Pueblo > Sam Houston State > Villanova > Liberty > Appalachian State > Louisiana-Monroe > Wake Forest > Virginia Tech > Ohio State

Good web-site for finding these chains is below:
