The NCAA released the FCS playoffs bracket yesterday for the 2023 Division I Football Championship. No surprise that the defending champions, South Dakota State, are the top seed in this year’s bracket. The Jackrabbits are riding a 25-game win streak and are unbeaten on the season.
National Seeds
1. South Dakota State
2. Montana
3. South Dakota
4. Idaho
5. Albany
6. Montana State
7. Furman
8. Villanova
The bracket is comprised of 10 automatic qualifiers and 14 at-large teams. At-large teams are selected by a committee which also sets the National seeds have first round byes. Three teams are making their first appearance in the playoffs: Drake, Mercer & North Carolina Central. First round games are this Saturday.
Conferences with Multiple Teams
• Missouri Valley Football Conference - 6
• Big Sky Conference - 4
• Colonial Athletic Association - 4
• Southern Conference - 3

Had no idea they expanded from 16 to 24 teams

The championship game will feature a team from the Dakotas defeating a team from the Dakotas, or possibly Montana.

It’s stunning to not see North Dakota st as a top 8 seed.

I enjoy solid FCS. Wish the lower quarter of FBS went back.

FCS is about to demonstrate - once again - why a 12 team playoff is absurd. No matter how they've changed the FCS playoff, once TV coverage expanded and the internet came along, it got easier and easier to evaluate teams. The seed of the eventual winner has gotten lower over time.
In the last 14 years, the highest seed to win is 5. Happened once. In 11 of the last 14 years the winner was seeded either #1 or #2.
Despite all the teams and all the rounds, #1 or #2 comes out on top 79% of the time and 13 of 14 are from the top 4, that's 93% of the time. In the past 12 years, every champion came from a top 4 seed.
The idea of a 12 team playoff in FBS is absurd. It's even easier to evaluate teams in FBS because of more exposure.
