Editor's Note: Welcome to the "RFC Rapid Random 20", a brief look at, as well as predictions on 20 games among teams in the Group of Five (FBS), FCS, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and the NAIA. This column replaces "THE LIGHTNING ROUND", which had been on fixture on this blog since being founded in 2006. So, without further ado, let's get started.
Oh, before we get started, for those first-time visitors to RFC that aren't familiar with the so-called "Group of Five", it consists of the American Athletic Conference (the conference formerly known as the Big East), Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference, and the Sun Belt Conference.
OK, let's get started.
