Here are the "schedule highlights" for 2023

16 schools play all-FBS schedules:
Colorado
Houston
Illinois
Iowa
Liberty
Michigan
Minnesota
Nebraska
Oklahoma
Purdue
Texas
Texas-San Antonio
USC
Virginia Tech
Washington
Wisconsin

On the other hand, Army plays two FCS teams. This could be important, as only one win against an FCS team can count towards bowl eligibility - a lesson Army and Appalachian State learned the hard way last season.

Hawaii and New Mexico State each play 13 regular season games; note that a 6-7 record does not automatically make a team bowl eligible, although they are the first teams that become eligible should there not be 82 eligible teams. (Yes, there are 41 bowl games open to FBS teams. For those of you who only see 40 on the ESPN page, it doesn't list the Holiday Bowl yet, probably because it didn't announce its date - 12/27, 8:00 Eastern, on Fox.)

"So where are the preseason NOTBCS/NOTCFP rankings?"
There aren't any - they are dependent upon computer rankings, so I want until all of the teams are "linked" (i.e. you can trace a chain of games already played between any two FBS teams), which happens in week 3. Before that, for example, Kansas State and Troy don't play any FBS teams besides each other.
