A strong case can be made for an upset in three of the four FCS quarterfinals this weekend, but a Samford win at North Dakota State Friday night would surely be one of the bigger surprises in the 45-year playoff history. NDSU, the defending FCS champion and a winner of nine national titles since 2011, is appearing in a national quarterfinal for the…

Here's what to watch this week around the subdivision. #10 Chattanooga Tries to Topple Illinois The Mocs (3-0) have…

Pac-12 Conference play opens Saturday in Pullman, with undefeated Washington State looking to make its mark against Oregon. The Ducks opened 2022 and the Dan Lanning era with a dud of a showing against reigning national champion Georgia. If the 49-3 blowout loss cast a pall on expectations for this season, last week's…
