SWAC/MEAC Challenge — Bethune Cookman v. Alabama State – Sept. 2 The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference has won 5 of the last 7 meetings in the conference challenge, including the Wildcats 63-17 romp over Prairie View a season ago. Circle City Classic – South Carolina State v. North Carolina Central – Oct. 6 Conference foes square off in an October match up that could determine who represents the MEAC in the FCS postseason.
