WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The 2017 season ended quite well for the MEAC with conference champ North Carolina A&T being the only unbeaten team in the FCS.But a September to remember helped get the season started for the MEAC as A&T and Howard both knocked off FBS opponents to allow the conference to tie for the FCS high.
FCS programs earned nine overall wins last season, and as they seek to make their mark again in this year's 111 matchups, here's a look at the ones involving MEAC teams:
The Matchups (14) - Bethune-Cookman: Florida Atlantic (Sept. 15); Delaware State: Buffalo (Sept. 1) and Western Michigan (Sept. 15); Florida A&M: Troy (Sept. 8); Howard: Ohio (Sept. 1) and Kent State (Sept. 8); Morgan State: Akron (Sept. 8); Norfolk State: Liberty (Sept. 15); North Carolina A&T: East Carolina (Sept. 1); North Carolina Central: Duke (Sept. 22); Savannah State: UAB (Aug. 30) and Miami-Florida (Sept. 8); South Carolina State: Georgia Southern (Sept. 1) and UCF (Sept. 8).
Upset Alert - Howard at Kent State (Sept. 8). Having posted the biggest point-spread upset (45 1/2 points) in history last year, the Bison won't be daunted by a Kent State team that was 2-10 last season. They'll need another big performance out of sophomore quarterback Caylin Newton.
