The non-conference analysis is simply a look at who each FCS team is playing as of late May / early June. Occasionally schedules change, FBS schools buyout contracts and swap opponents, causing a domino effect. So these are tentative opponents, subject to change.
Ivy League
Brown: vs. Bryant, vs. Rhode Island, @ Stetson
Columbia: vs. Wagner, vs. Georgetown, @ Marist
Cornell: @ Delaware, vs. Colgate, vs. Bucknell
Dartmouth: @ Stetson, vs. Holy Cross, @ Sacred Heart
Harvard: @ Rhode Island, @ Georgetown, vs. Lafayette
Penn: vs. Ohio Dominican, @ Lehigh, @ Central Connecticut State
Princeton: vs. San Diego, @ Lafayette, vs. Georgetown
Yale: @ Lehigh, @ Fordham, vs. Holy Cross
There’s not a lot to say about the Ivy League’s non-conference scheduling, they pretty much stick to the same group of opponents they always do. That means a great percentage from the Patriot League, with a smattering of regional opponents from the Colonial, Northeast and Pioneer. Of the 23 FCS non-conference opponents, twelve hail from the Patriot. Penn is the one school playing a sub-Division I opponent.
