Week 1 FCS Football Bracketology Breakdown

 
 
Last Four In: Stephen F. Austin, Abilene Christian, Sacramento State, Northern Arizona
 
First Four Out: Stony Brook, Southern Utah, Austin Peay, Chattanooga
 
 
Tarleton State was perhaps the biggest winner of week 1. After cruising past Portland State in week 0, the Texans knocked off Army in double overtime on Friday night. Austin Peay also beat an FBS team, handing Middle Tennessee State a 34-14 defeat. Many FCS teams were beaten by much tougher competition and a few beat up on non-Division I opponents, so it will take a couple more weeks to really learn where most teams stand.
