In 2018, FCS teams recorded seven wins against FBS schools. Since 1978, FCS schools have recorded double-digit win totals against the FBS six times, most recently in 2016 (10 that year).

NFL teams—one quarter of the league. u This week, 22 of 25 ranked teams (STATS FCS poll) are in action. Two ranked teams face FBS opponents this week, and there are two games on the schedule that feature two ranked FCS teams. #4 UC Davis (2-1) at #1 North Dakota State (3-0), 2:30 pm CT [NBC ND / ESPN+] #18 Villanova (3-0) at #5 Towson (3-0), 5 pm CT [FloFootball.com] u STATS FCS National Players of the Week for Week 3 include North Carolina A&T’s Jah-Maine Martin, Jacksonville State’s Marlon Bridges, Houston Baptist’s Gamar Girdy Brito and Lafayette’s Keegan Shoemaker. u Houston Baptist was named the STATS FCS Team of the Week after knocking South Dakota, 53-52.

HONORABLE MENTION: Alabama A&M (31-24 win over North Alabama); The Citadel (27-24 OT win over Georgia Tech); North Dakota (27-23 win over No. 23 Sam Houston State); No. 8 Towson (45-23 win over No. 7 Maine); VMI (31-24 OT win over ETSU) FCS CHAMPIONSHIP INFORMATION (42nd Season -- first year was in 1978) u TEAM COMPOSITION -- (24 TOTAL TEAMS) There are 10 conferences with automatic bids and the selection committee makes 14 at-large selections. u DATES -- Selection Sunday is on Sunday, Nov. 24. First-round games take place Saturday, Nov. 30. The top eight seeds receive a first-round bye. The title game will take place Saturday, Jan. 11, in Frisco, Texas. u SITE -- In January 2019, the NCAA announced it agreed to a five-year extension with Frisco, Texas, and Toyota Stadium will host the championship through 2025 (for the 2024 season) with an option for the 2026 championship. u -- ESPN provides coverage for all 23 games, and the championship game has aired on ESPN2 since 2002. u -- North Dakota State is the two-time defending champion. NDSU has won 7 of the past 8 titles (James Madison is the other.) Last year, NDSU beat Eastern Washington in the title game. u -- Conferences with the most titles: Missouri Valley (9), Southern (8), Big Sky (6), CAA Football (6). INDEPENDENTS -- Last week, third-string quarterback and true freshman Tommy Schuster of North Dakota came on after an injury to Andrew Zimmerman and helped engineer UND’s ninth win over a nationally-ranked team since joining the FCS ranks in 2008. Schuster, who has dressed for each game but wearing a different uniform number in each, settled into a rhythm and found an familiar weapon in senior Noah Wanzek (9 catches, 108 yards) to pull out yet another Potato Bowl win for UND (42-12 all-time). BIG SKY -- A trio of weeks have passed, and the Big Sky has had some eye-opening games so far. Five Big Sky-Missouri Valley Challenge games are slated for Saturday. The Big Sky heads into the weekend with a 3-1 advantage. Bragging rights are on the line as five of the 10 teams are ranked. Four of the five matchups will be road games for the good guys. There was a shakeup in the polls, but the Big Sky Football still has five teams ranked in the Top 20. UC Davis leads the way at the No. 4 spot in both polls. Between the STATS FCS and FCS AFCA Coaches’ Top 25 polls, the Big Sky has eight different teams ranked or receiving votes. The Big Sky has a new channel lineup for Pluto TV this season. Make sure to go to www.Pluto.TV to check out games all season long. BIG SOUTH -- Kennesaw State fifth-year head coach BRIAN BOHANNON (39-13) will have his first attempt at 40 career coaching wins this weekend, and if he is successful, he will become the second-fastest Big South coach to win 40 games in league history at 53 contests. The record is 51 games (Coastal Carolina’s JOE MOGLIA), followed by 56 games (Liberty’s DANNY ROCCO). Bohannon would also become the seventh overall Big South coach with 40 victories should the Owls defeat Missouri State on Saturday. Monmouth RB PETE GUERRIERO has rushed for a Big South-leading 393 yards through the first three games of the season -- the Big South’s highest rushing total after the first three games since 2015 (Coastal Carolina RB DE’ANGELO HENDERSON - 396. Guerriero has been consistent out of the gate each season of his career, as he gained 354 in his first three games as a freshman in 2017, and 353 in the same span last year as a sophomore. Guerriero’s 131.0 rushing yards per game average is currently the third-highest single-season clip in Big South history. Hampton WR JADAKIS BONDS leads the Big South with five touchdown receptions -- on just seven total catches -- and has caught a TD pass in every game thus far in 2019. He needs a TD grab in his next game to tie the league record for most consecutive games with a touchdown catch to start a season. Kennesaw State’s JUSTIN SUMPTER set the record of four to open the 2016 campaign. Bonds is averaging 30.8 yards on his TD catches, as 154 of his 173 total receiving yards have gone for scores. CAA FOOTBALL -- The Week 4 schedule is highlighted by a matchup of two nationally ranked unbeaten squads as No. 18 Villanova visits No. 5 Towson. The Wildcats have won their three games by an average of 27.6 ppg, while the Tigers’ three victories have come by an average of 22.7 ppg. New Hampshire hosts Rhode Island in the other CAA contest this week. The road team has won the first three conference matchups of the season. Delaware pulled out a 36-33 triple OT win at Rhode Island on Sept. 7, while Elon won 42-20 at Richmond and Towson topped Maine, 45-23, last week as the Tigers ended the Black Bears’ six-game home win streak. Several CAA players lead the nation in various statistical categories. Maine’s Chris Ferguson is No. 1 in passing (370.0 ypg), Stony Brook’s Tyquell Fields is No. 1 in yards per completion (19.3), Rhode Island’s Aaron Parker is No. 1 in receptions (10.5) and receiving yards (185.5 ypg) per game, Villanova’s Justin Covington is No. 1 in yards per carry (10.7), W&M’s Bronson Yoder is No. 1 in kickoff return average (40.4) and Towson’s Coby Tippett and URI’s Momodou Mbye are tied for first in interceptions per game (1.0). IVY LEAGUE -- Fourteen Ivies saw the field for their respective teams during Week 2 of the 2019 National Football League (NFL) season, including seven that earned starts. Defensively, second-year linebacker Foye Oluokun out of Yale accounted for three tackles for the Atlanta Falcons—running his career-opening streak to 18-straight games with a tackle. The 2019 season promises to be memorable for the Ancient Eight. As college football celebrates its 150th anniversary, the Ivies will be right smack in the middle of it considering Princeton played in the first game in 1869. The Tigers will help mark the anniversary with a game against Dartmouth on Nov. 9 at Yankee Stadium. Only two Ivy teams will play at home Saturday, Yale against Holy Cross (1-1) and Princeton against Butler (1-2). Coach Bob Surace’s Tigers went 10-0 last year for their first unbeaten season since 1964. Ivy teams opening on the road are Penn at No. 20 Delaware (2-1), Dartmouth at Jacksonville (1-1), Brown at Bryant (0-3), Columbia at Saint Francis (2-1), Cornell at Marist (1-1) and Harvard at San Diego (0-2). James Perry will make his Brown head coaching debut against the Bryant program he guided the last two seasons.

    THEN. NOW. NEXT. 2017 Annual Report GWCCA 2017 ANNUAL REPORT “The only time you should ever look back is to see how far you’ve come.” – Author Unknown When you reflect on the brief history of the Georgia World Congress Center Authority, truer words have never been spoken. It all started with the Georgia World Congress Center hosting the American Apparel Manufacturers Association’s Bobbin Show in one exhibition hall with 350,000 square feet. Today, the GWCC encompasses 3.9 million square feet and is embarking on an expansion to improve the facility’s connectivity while bolstering Atlanta’s status as a top convention destination. Just over 20 years ago, a multi-block eyesore in the middle of downtown Atlanta was transformed into Centennial Olympic Park to welcome the world’s visitors during the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games. In July 2016, the Authority celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Centennial Olympic Games, and the Park as the lasting legacy to those games. Today, the Park is known for its role as a downtown entertainment nexus, and preservation of the Park for future generations is in full swing with numerous high-profile capital improvement projects. THEN. In March 2017, the Georgia Dome closed its doors for the last time. An iconic history filled with football, basketball, concerts, graduations, the Olympics, one tornado and a million memories, the Dome changed the landscape of Atlanta by making major bid events possible on the INSIDE Authority’s campus. She paved the way for her successor, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and the GWCCA’s now 220-acre campus to host the College 4 Event Highlights Football Playoff National Championship Game in 2018, Super Bowl LIII NOW.
