Editor's Note: This is the first installment of the "RFC Weekly Predictions", on Real Football Central. Each week during the 2020 season, we'll take a brief look at the top games in FBS (Group Of Five), FCS, and small college football (NCAA Division II, Division III, and NAIA), with predictions!
If you're wondering what the "Group Of Five" is, it consists of the American Athletic Conference and Conference USA, as well as the Mid-American, Mountain West, and Sun Belt Conferences. As always, there no games involving any teams from the Power 5 Conferences.
With the continuing COVID-19 pandemic leading to most of the programs featured on RFC either canceling their seasons or postponing them until Spring 2021, there will be a limited number of games featured this fall. Also, the normal format for this column will be revised due to the coronavirus, with the schedule (s) subject to change during the Fall 2020 season.
So, without further ado, let's get started!
KEY: Projected winners marked in RED.
Featured games in BOLD type.
