Last night I was thinking about who could potentially creep up and be a threat in the FCS this year. The team to watch out for IMO is Villanova. They got a really good returning multi year starter at QB in Connor Watkins and they have a very favorable schedule.
In the non-conference they host Youngstown State who they beat in the playoffs last year, and Long Island, while going to Colgate and Maryland. In conference play, they avoid Richmond and UAlbany and they get a transitioning Delaware team at home the final week of the season.
I could see a very realistic chance that Villanova could go 11-1 and make some noise in the playoffs. They’re definitely a team to watch out for.
