FCS vs FBS COLLEGE FOOTBALL

I foresee many FCS vs FBS college football upsets this year as the FCS & HBCU CFB programs have been stockpiling talent through the transfer portal and have done a masterful job at recruiting top tier talent nationally. There are ironically 34 FCS vs FBS CFB games slated for week one of the NCAA football season and there are also some key match-ups that will set the tone nationally in each conference, just as Vanderbilt did in their thrashing of Hawaii in week zero. The Commodores did not only come out to prove that the SEC was the most dominant conference once again in 2022, but also have begun to write their transformation story as they start to rise from being perennial bottom dwellers of Southeastern Conference play. There were four FCS vs FBS match-ups in week zero, but there were not any major upsets produced by FCS teams in 2022 and I believe this will be the week that we see multiple FCS programs take down FBS opponents. 
(The irony of 34 is 3+4=7)
