It’s been 229 long days, but finally, we are back on Saturday at noon ET. And what better way to kick off the season than with one of last year’s most exciting teams: the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.
The Tops kick off the season at home against Austin Peay, a team that current Hilltoppers might not be familiar with but longtime WKU supporters know very well. Their history dates back to 1940, when they squared off for the first time. However, it has been one-sided almost the entire way; WKU leads the all-time series 35-6-1.
But their history isn’t the only thing that ties these schools together; both currently find themselves right in the middle of the whirlwind of conference realignment.
WKU is one of just five schools in Conference USA that do not currently have a plan to depart from the conference. This year, meanwhile, marks the first season since 1962 in which Austin Peay is on no level affiliated with the Ohio Valley Conference.
