FCS Playoffs. ( CAA. Is WEAK )

[FUATT]

Announced today that the Ivy League will now be an FCS Playoff participant. I think a couple of those teams could be regular QF type teams. They will have an AQ spot in the playoff, so assume that unless we expand that takes away an available at large bid?

Makes sense for the Ivy to finally give their football players something to look forward to if they win the league.......

This season out of the 129 teams, if you take out SWAC, MEAC and IVY that basically don't participate, OMIT teams going FBS like Delaware and Missouri St, and factor in a 24 team playoff field, each FCS school had about a 25% chance to make the playoffs.............
Let's not even get into the fact that many of those 100 schools don't even give full scholarship levels.....

Fairly easy to see how Dakotas and Montana's have dominated this weak version of FCS...................

Sounds like the Ivy League champ will get an autobid. I think the Ivy League teams are also a little unique in that they typically only schedule 10 games, so at large bids may be a bit trickier if they keep that scheduling.

This is a helpful article, which is updated periodically, about what the heck is going on in the FCS landscape: https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/arti ... ealignment

There are essentially four conferences that have to rely on joining up to be able to meet the six team threshold.
