2024 FCS Playoffs

Here's the final bracketology from College Sports Madness. They have the same teams I listed last night as luck would have it. The only difference is that they gave Idaho a bye instead of Incarnate Word. We'll see what actually happens later today.

Well I got 24 out of 24 teams correctly. CSN ended up being correct with Idaho getting the final bye as the #8 seed, as opposed to my prediction of Richmond who got the 9th seed.

Haven't had time to go through and make predictions yet, but I'd be surprised if #1 MT State, #2 NDSU, and #3 SDSU don't make it to the Semifinals. If #4 South Dakota and #5 UC Davis face off for that final spot to go to the Semis that should be a pretty good game.

Montana State is my winner.

Montana State is my winner.

I wouldn't mind seeing that. I enjoy seeing different schools win it and not the same ones every year.

Tarleton assuming they beat Drake will give SD all they can handle. I’ve watched them Twice this year, and their run defense is their only weakness. They have very good QB play.

Lots of very difficult picks this year. I think MT State makes it to the championship game for sure. Picking between NDSU and SDSU was really tough. Hypothetically it would be in Fargo again, where NDSU won 13-9, but I think SDSU has been playing better than NDSU lately, especially on defense so I went with SDSU. MT ST and SDSU was another very tough pick, but I went with SDSU to three peat because their defense has just been so dominant. They've held their opponents to 14 points or less in regulation in 10 straight games.

That was a great game last year.

I completely forgot that they played each other last year, but now I remember listening to the radio stream of that game and the very dramatic ending. That was a fantastic game!

Good matchups next week. Tarleton and South Dakota looks good, and ISU Red and UC Davies as well.
