NCAA FCS PLAYOFF BRACKET
CAA Football goes head-to-head with four conference champions on Saturday in the second round of the NCAA FCS playoffs. Delaware (8-4) visits Missouri Valley champion and #1 national seed South Dakota State (10-1). Richmond (9-3) travels to Big Sky champion and #2 national seed Sacramento State (11-0). New Hampshire (9-3) heads to Patriot League champion and #8 national seed Holy Cross (11-0). #5 national seed William & Mary (10-1) hosts Big South champion Gardner-Webb (7-5).
The CAA is tied with the Big Sky for the most squads among the final 16. It's the first time since 2016 that four CAA teams have advanced to the second round. The conference has had at least two teams advance to the second round of the FCS playoffs every year since the final expanded to 20 (and then 24) teams in 2010. The CAA has also had at least one team in the quarterfinals every year since 1995 and has had at least one team in the semifinals for the past nine seasons.
Get ready for Saturday's action with a playoff edition of Three Things To Watch.
