In this week's Akems Analysis, I look at all of the top storylines in the FCS this season and what people should be paying attention to going into the 2026 season. The Patriot League teams have some of the toughest schedules in all of FCS football. What is the reason for that? The Big Sky has 9 nationally televised games, which is historic. I discuss all of this and more in this week's Akem's Analysis.

In this week's Akem's Analysis, I discuss who my top 15 FCS WRs are coming into the 2026 season. I also discuss what an extension for Montana's Bobby Kennedy would mean and if it's the right decision. I have been looking into all the SOS from each conference in the FCS, and this week we looked at the Ivy League. Although they only play 10 games, the non-conference games greatly influence their SOS. So I got into what that looks like for each team in the Ivy League this week. All of this and more in this week's Akem's Analysis.
