What are the guidelines for FCS schools playing 12 regular season games? Since 2006 FBS schools play 12 games. :?:

FCS schools can only play 12 games when the calendar gives an extra weekend in the season (looking for exact guidelines)...

2008 was the last year, it generally happens every 3 or 4 years. Haven't been able to find the list yet.

Aren't 12 game seasons over with the expansion of the playoffs in 2010?

Actually, 4 teams are being added in 2010.

2 AQ's - NEC and Big South.
2 at-larges.

Always have to have at least 50% of the bids from at-larges.

You can play 12 if you don't want an open date.
