But they willing to play in Sacramento. I am sure it is tough for Sac State to get FBS teams willing to come to Sacramento for a non conference game. First in is not a great stadium. Second I am sure they can’t pay that much.

Yes they need some OOC home games and they don’t have many options. Wood’s spin on how they were going to pay for the FBS move was buy games; the math never works anyways but an SJSU series is just another chunk of their schedule that is not going to help contribute to their outsized FBS costs.

Mercer @ Georgia Tech today, that's a good trip for a local FCS team

2027 OOC schedule is nice. I'd say we get back in the mix in the next few years.
I have no inside info on this......but I could see UCLA in '27 and/or '29 disappearing (they ditch, like USC) and Sac making an appearance at least once.

Somewhat pathetic performance so far by Pinnick and co against a weak FCS Duquesne

Edit: they scored as I posted this, jinxed it

Cal 49 Wagner 7 - Final

Washington State 48 Duquesne 7 - Final

NDSU 28 Sac 0 - 11:24 left in the 2nd quarter

Flipped over to ESPN after the LSU-Ole Miss game ended and got a chuckle out of the score.

Honestly, they should just ban FCS-FBS games. I mean, sure, some of them are competitive, but too often you get results similar to Oregon-Portland State. Miami beat a HBCU by 70 last week. Just play a crappy FBS team if you want a warmup game. I mean, Sac St probably has a fairly open schedule.

But what does beating Portland St by 84 do for Oregon? Can't possibly help them much. Besides money, it doesn't help Portland St at all either.

NDSU 31 Sac 10 - Final
