NCAA Announces FCS-FBS showdown for spots in FBS The NCAA has announced that the limit for teams is 120, and the FCS-FBS showdown. Here's how things would work.
The teams would play eachother (Matchups shown above). Whoever loses, gets demoted to the FCS. Whoever wins, gets to be in the Football Bowl Subdivison.
"We checked out the 4 teams with the most consistent losing years and put them against some of the most prestigious FCS teams. What we get, is a competition." said the NCAA.
"We love it." said Georgia Southern QB
Jaybo Shaw. "We want to earn our way, not just be given our way."
The FBS teams seem to agree with it. Not really.
New Mexico State has been outraged, but as the NCAA points out, going 0-12 won't cut it. Sorry guys.
Here are the times and stadiums for the matchups:
