12 Game Schedule in '24?

Post by citycat » Sun Jan 21, 2024 12:58 pm

Due to the number of Saturdays between Labor Day and the weekend before Thanksgiving, FCS teams can schedule 12 games this year.

Look at the article on the PFL board about Dayton and Stetson adding Ave Maria to their 2024 schedules for confirmation.

Don't add Ave Maria to our schedule.

St Thomas has their full 2024 schedule posted. Still only 11 games.

12 games are allowed, not required, this season.

Also, I expect a few teams that have posted 11-game schedules will later update their websites with 12-game schedules. No doubt some in the PFL will stick to 11 games.

No St Thomas game vs the Cats again?

Good news, bad news.

We don't have to play one of the tougher teams.

But, in a title race, we may need the strength of schedule to break a tie.

I know Abell is most likely not happy.

I like it. St Thomas isn't eligible for post-season, but they are good. They'll put losses on others. And maybe we won't fall apart against Morehead and Dayton.

I hope they work hard on the defense in the spring. If the Cats can develop a lock down defense and combine that with our O, we could really have something special.
