When I decided to do the CAA, I discovered that the relevant article had dropped off the bottom of the STATS.com list. (I’m sure it’s there somewhere, but they don’t seem to have an “Archive” button. Luckily, several other searchable sites had picked it up:

There are twelve matchups between Colonial Athletic Conference teams and FBS opponents, although Delaware does not have one (for the first time since 2012). That’s because Maine has two FBS games.
Albany (4-7) vs Pittsburgh (5-7)
Elon (8-4) vs South Florida (10-2)
James Madison (14-1) vs North Carolina State (9-4)
Maine (4-6) vs Western Kentucky (6-7) and Central Michigan (8-6)
New Hampshire (9-5) vs Colorado (5-7)
Rhode Island (3-8) vs Connecticut (3-9)
Richmond (6-5) vs Virginia (6-7)
Stony Brook (10-3) vs Air Force (5-7)
Towson (5-6) vs Wake Forest 8-5)
Villanova (5-6) vs Temple (7-6)
William & Mary (2-9) vs Virginia Tech (9-4)
Haley’s “upset alert” is the Villanova game. He asserts that the Wildcats’ will be better than their record suggests because they had a lot of key injuries last season … and most of those guys are back. He knows those eastern teams pretty well, so he could be right on that one.
You might pick Rhode Island over pitiful UConn, but the Rams have been really bad the past several years … so that looks pretty unlikely.
