Wick250:
FBS really lacks meaning today. More accurate are the P5 and G5 designations. Weak G5 conference claims to superiority over top level FCS conferences dissolve quickly. For example, NDSU (#48 in current Sagarin) is rated higher than any MAC program. YSU at #82 is fourth in FCS and trails only Toledo, Western Michigan, and Northern Illinois from the MAC. The juggernauts at Akron and at Kent are #142 and #168, respectively. I long for the day when the P5 programs officially bolt and leave the G5 pretenders exposed for the frauds that they truly are.
goodnews:
What are the non-conference schedules in 2018 and 2019? Any updates or possibilities other then WVU next year?

Yes.
I remember reading on the Sargarin rating last year after our national champion game, YSU was rank pretty high. I think we were ranked above most of the MAC team, 1 BIG team and some Big East teams. I assume those rankings could still be found using Google.

But ultimately, I can say I now know Akron has a moratorium on playing YSU. I'm guessing Kent would as well. We would have to play different MAC schools if we did.

At this point with the status all three programs as it is, they would be wise to not play us. Nothing to gain and everything to lose. A matter of time until they drop, problem for them is to figure out how to drop down gracefully.

Wick, your right on the money with these comments.
You have FCS because the play for a championship and FBS who now also plays for a championship. We need a new level between the P5 conferences and the limited scolarship teams like Dayton etc.
