BMac and The Nach‘s FCS Podcast: Recent Episodes
Brian McLaughlin
BMac and The Nach discuss all things FCS, from the big topics of the week to the top games to keep an eye on.
Brian McLaughlin and Anthony Nachreiner are back to preview the FCS Week 4 slate!
This week on the BMac and The Nach FCS Show? We get fired up about the first mega conference-matchup weekend of the FCS season. The majority games are intra-conference games, with only a smattering of games involving FBS and lower-division schools. Also, since NDSU lost last weekend, does that make the Bison vulnerable? And who could gather steam this weekend? All of that and much more on the most unpredictable FCS podcast out there.

In this week's BMac & The Nach's FCS Podcast, Anthony Nachreiner & Brian McLaughlin pose the question: Now that James Madison is all but leaving for the FBS ranks and several others are being courted, is this the end of the FCS as we know it?

In this week's BMac & The Nach's FCS Podcast, Anthony Nachreiner & Brian McLaughlin pose the question: What the hell does this Conference USA/Sun Belt/American Athletic Conference craziness have to do with the FCS? Answer: LOTS. The domino effect is real, gang. This could change the landscape of what we know.

In our fifth edition of BMac and The Nach's FCS Podcast, Anthony Nachreiner and Brian McLaughlin pose the question: What's with ESPN's recent infatuation with the Big Sky Conference -- including this week's nationally televised game on Friday night? Could we be on to something with last week's "bold picks" when we said ESPN Gameday is heading to Big Sky country later in 2021? How interesting could the potential OVC-Southland Challenge be in the future, and why can't more conferences consider this? WHY OH WHY does BMac whine and cry so much during one particular segment of the podcast? Who will win this week's Top 10 FCS games? We pick 'em.

We know who the top seven most deserving teams are -- we just have no clue how to put them in order.

How good are Sam Houston, NDSU, JMU, Montana ... and the rest of this incredible gaggle of talented, undefeated teams standing at the top of the FCS? And how great is it that ESPN finally recognized how good an individual matchup can be in the FCS regular season -- putting Montana at Eastern Washington on ESPN2 when lots of eyeballs nationally will be looking for an entertaining late game on Saturday night?
