Makes them no different to NCSU, CU, UNC, UVA, VT, GT and/or SU. So they actually do belong in that group.

Did not know these schools had been invited.

Hawaii 31, Oregon State 28 final.

That’s six MWC wins over P5 teams two games into the season.

California 20
#14 Washington 14

Cal beat Washington
The PAC 12 is HORRIBLE this year
Almost as bad as the ACC
Take away Clemson (big 12) & ACC is 7/10 of FBS behind MWC & AAC

CSU-Pueblo 38
Dixie State 7

This is for future reference when Dixie State joins FCS in the future.

USC did more than hold on, they crushed Stanford 45-20.

Bye bye Stanford.

Well at least that counts as a win for the PAC 12 over a ranked opponent

Teams can sneak in the playoff with a loss but four scores it tough to overcome even if they win out.

That is an embarrassment.

Makes me wonder about Maryland more than Syracuse. 133 points in 2 games is crazy, even if one of the teams is Howard.

UCF says "hold my beer"

For what, so you can beat .... FAU?

Other AAC teams deserve credit for scheduling very good P5 teams like Ohio State, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, etc.

UCF meanwhile has been playing an HBCU and FAU. And looking at the UCF schedule it doesn't get all that much tougher, eh?

Nothing laughable here. CSU-Pueblo is consistently ranked in the national top 10 and currently ranked #7. Dixie State has barely had 2 winning seasons in their entire football history. Don't care that DSU is a future D1 nobody.

Idaho holds on to win.
Central Washington 31
Idaho 41

This would have been laughable score if Central Washington won this game when Idaho went to a bowl game a few years ago. This shows the real downfall of Idaho's football.

Idaho not only went to a bowl, they laid an ass whooping on an 8-4 CSU team. Led 61-18 before calling off the horses.

Actually met a Vandal fan at the USU/WF last week and exchanged a Chuck Staben bash session.

Like the A5 is getting on board to play UCF. Please do not give me the 2-1 because when has one school asked for a true 2-1. Show me more than UF because that was not going to happen anyway. Chicken S***ts.

I cant really knock UCF's schedule this year. One FCS team, one G5, and two P5's is a proven formula. Not really their fault if Stanford is having a down year. Pitt on the road could be a decent challenge. It may end up being a weak schedule but they at least tried to put a decent schedule together.

A lot of P5 are afraid to play Boise State and North Dakota State. When they do? They get a big L.

These schedules are made a few years in advance, and UCF isn't a historical power, you have had two top seasons, 2017 and 2018. Has nothing to do with the 2019 schedule.

Look at the P5 you have played the last three years:

2017: Maryland (4-8)
2018: Pitt (7-7)
2019: Stanford, Pitt (TBA)

Yes, you had games vs UNC and Georgia Tech canceled, but those teams went 2-9 and 5-6 those years so not much to say about them.

UCF used to schedule tough-on-paper teams like Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State, but not in recent years, the more successful years, BTW.
