CAA Football has rolled out its much-anticipated schedule
for the 2024 season. For the first time since 2019, the season will span 13
weeks and include 12 games. Adding to the excitement, the CAA is expanding to
include 16 teams, marking a first in the conference’s history. The latest
addition to the roster is Bryant University.
The conference schedule is designed to include four home
games and four away games for each team. Teams were paired with a preferred
partner based on regional proximity, which played a crucial role in determining
the remaining opponents. In an effort to cut costs, air travel has been
limited, with most teams not having more than one flight during conference
play.
The 2024 conference action is set to kick off with four
games on Saturday, September 14. The opening day will see Maine hosting
Monmouth, Campbell visiting Rhode Island, North Carolina A&T
entertaining Delaware, and Towson traveling to Villanova. The following
Saturday, September 21, will mark Bryant’s CAA debut at New Hampshire.
The non-conference schedule is equally thrilling, featuring
12 games against FBS opponents. This includes three games against the ACC, two
against the Big Ten, two against the Big 12, and one against the SEC. Nine of
these 12 teams participated in bowl games in 2023. It’s worth noting that CAA
Football teams have secured 19 victories over FBS opponents since 2009.
The schedule also includes nine non-conference games against
teams that reached the FCS playoffs in 2023. Among these are two playoff
rematches, with Villanova hosting Youngstown State and UAlbany returning to
Idaho. In the previous season, CAA teams held a strong 20-10 record against
non-conference competition.
CAA Football’s impressive performance in the 2023 NCAA FCS
playoffs saw four teams - UAlbany, Delaware, Richmond, and Villanova -
receiving berths. This marked the 13th instance of at least four CAA teams
being chosen for the playoffs. The conference has consistently had at least one
team reach the quarterfinals every year since 1995 and has seen a team advance
to the semifinals in 10 of the past 11 seasons.
