There's a reason for that lineup: the only games allowed before the Thursday right before Labor Day are:
(a) Games between two FCS teams that are nationally televised and played on the weekend - some people are claiming that Florida A&M-North Carolina qualifies because FAMU is FCS, but the way I read the bylaw, both teams have to be FCS
(b) Games where at least one team is either Hawaii or a team playing an away game at Hawaii at some point (or didn't you notice a considerable number of Mountain West teams in that list? - the complete list is WKU, Vanderbilt, Duquesne, Nevada,
(c) Games where the NCAA grants a waiver (e.g. the Dublin game, and I wouldn't be surprised if the NCAA gave a waiver to FAMU-UNC)Both Charlotte at FAU and North Texas at UTEP also seem to be outside of these rules or am I missing something? Both are CUSA conference games, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Teams can also apply for an exemption to these rules, allowing them to play during Week 0 for a range of reasons. Those reasons can include extreme travel, like when Nebraska and Northwestern face each other in Dublin, Ireland, next weekend, or if theyreally, really want to, as was the case when Florida opened against Miami to kick off ESPN’s coverage of the 150th anniversary of college football in 2019.
