Keeping land out of the FCS is a big deal (see: 1994) and thankfully only Navy gave it up last week (though Akron and FIU came close) and this week we need Minnesota, NC State, Washington, Georgia, Rutgers, Wyoming, JMU, UCLA, Nevada, Coastal Carolina, Ole Miss, Tulane, SMU, TCU, Indiana and Clemson to avoid getting upset Michigan State and Ohio State both play G5 schools and could consolidate land on the 2022 map next week if they win.Ĭan't go through all 80 games involving land so I'll just put the highlights here Louisiana plays Eastern Michigan, who has a game next week with Arizona State so that could get land into a P5 conference (if the Pac-12 still qualifies) UCF plays Louisville, which could get this land into the ACC for a potential consolidation with Clemson In addition to the 2019/2020 landholders, 2021 also has NDSU, UCF, JMU, Louisiana, Kentucky, Michigan State, and Ohio State with land. Clemson plays an FCS team making them the one to cheer for, while either Alabama or Texas winning could lead to land consolidation this season.
