With Howard on the horizon, it's a good time to look at the dynamic facing the entire FBS.
Much of the attention of this week's Boston College-Howard football matchup centers on the fact that the Bison are the second FCS opponent on the Eagles' calendar this season. When the schedule was released, it provided a controversial topic of discussion eliciting opinions from so many different people.
The Eagles are far from the only team facing this dilemma. The North Carolina Tar Heels have two non-conference games scheduled this season, one of which happens this Saturday when they take on North Carolina A&T.
