The FCS selection show airs Sunday morning at 11:30 AM on ESPNU. #1 is cemented, it seems like 2/3 is Montana/USD, and then the rest of the field is very jumbled.

You could argue USD deserves the 2 seed over Montana. Both teams are going to finish with the same FCS record, and USD holds a higher SOS. Not sure if the committee will agree, but you can easily make the case.

NDSU is laying an absolute beatdown on UNI. Will this be enough for NDSU to earn a seed? On the other side of that coin, UNI definitely is not going to make the playoffs now with a 6-5 finish. Wild considering they looked like they were on a mission until last Saturday against Missouri State.
We are going to see three MVFC teams finish at 7-4: UND, SIU, and YSU. How many of them get in? I'm guessing UND and SIU to give the MVFC 5 teams. YSU has two very weak OOC wins that are probably going to haunt them.

YSU and SIU could both also be in, but if they only take 1 of the 2 it will be interesting to see who they take. SIU has a better OOC resume, including a FBS win (over Northern Illinois), but YSU beat SIU 31-3 in conference play.

For our first game, it will be based on regionalization. Drake won the Pioneer bid. I assume we play the winner of their game. I do believe the closest potential team to Drake would be SIU.

I bet they get to play UND again if NDSU gets that seed and UND wins in the first round. That would be fun to see.

Solid case for NDSU not to be seeded.

Solid case for NDSU not to be seeded. In that case, I'm concerned they play Drake and then visit Vermillion. Would rather not have that rematch right away.

#3 seed and won’t see the wabbits unless it’s in Fridco. Good luck. They've unveiled that half of the bracket and it's clear that our side is going to be far more difficult to navigate.

I'll happily welcome either of those teams to Vermillion.
