Winner: Delaware Saint Francis (PA) makes the playoffs after going undefeated in the NEC play for its second conference title ever. Meanwhile, Delaware enters the playoffs after losing three of its last four games. At one point in the season, Delaware was a top-10 team in the country. Then came injuries to players like quarterback Nolan Henderson. I think even if Henderson has to battle through injuries, the Blue Hens are the better all-around team and get the win. PLAYOFFS: See the complete...
Winner: Fordham Co-CAA champion New Hampshire hosts Fordham in the first round. New Hampshire's run to the CAA title was impressive, but Fordham's explosive offense is more impressive. Yet, I think this game will end with over 70 points combined between the two teams, thanks to Fordham's leaky defense. In a shootout, I trust Fordham quarterback and likely Walter Payton Award finalist Tim DeMorat to get the job done.
Winner: Eastern Kentucky Gardner-Webb had to close the season by playing playoff-level football, defeating North Carolina A&T in a winner-take-all Big South game. Eastern Kentucky won the ASUN-WAC shared bid to make the playoffs. I have Eastern Kentucky winning its first-round game because of Parker McKinney, a top-10 FCS quarterback. I expect at least four touchdowns from the signal-caller in a win.
Winner: South Dakota State I was hesitant about this pick because a healthy Delaware team is capable of beating South Dakota State. The Jackrabbits are no stranger to playoff disappointments. However, Delaware hasn't been healthy in a while, and there's no telling what bumps and bruises the Blue Hens walk away with after the first round. South Dakota State wins this game.
Winner: Holy Cross Holy Cross needed a game-winning two-point conversion in overtime to defeat Fordham during the regular season. If the two schools meet in the second round, this game will be close again. I predict Holy Cross beats Fordham for the second time this year. The Crusaders proved they can score enough to keep up with Fordham in the last outing. I think this go around, Holy Cross will turn to a motivated defense to get a few more stops and a win. SEEDS: The importance of a top seed...
Winner: William & Mary William & Mary has played solid, (mostly) mistake-free football all season. Giving head coach Mike London a week to prepare for a team gives me confidence that the Tribe will handle business against Eastern Kentucky.
No. 8 Holy Cross at No. 1 South Dakota State
Winner: South Dakota State South Dakota State gets the win over Holy Cross in a battle of teams undefeated against FCS competition. The Jackrabbits have the defense to slow down Crusader quarterback Matthew Sluka's dual-threat capabilities.
Weber State at No. 5 William & Mary
Winner: William & Mary Weber State may be the popular pick here, with the Wildcats losing only two Big Sky games, but I see William & Mary winning this game. The Tribe have an elite pass-rushing duo that will wreak havoc in Weber State's backfield.
No. 6 Samford at No. 3 North Dakota State
Winner: North Dakota State North Dakota State defeats Samford because of the Bison's play in the trenches. North Dakota State will overpower Samford upfront in a quarterfinal win.
No. 5 William & Mary at No. 1 South Dakota State
Winner: South Dakota State South Dakota State is one of the most talented teams in the country. At every position on offense and most positions on defense, the Jackrabbits have a good, if not an elite player. That talent will overwhelm William & Mary and earn South Dakota State its second championship berth in three years.
No. 7 UIW at No. 3 North Dakota State
Winner: North Dakota State North Dakota State has shown time and time again that it can shut down prolific offenses. When UIW comes to the Fargodome, the Cardinals will be the latest prolific offense to halt. From there, a physical Bison offense with TaMerik Williams and Hunter Luepke gets the job done.

No. 3 North Dakota State vs. No. 1 South Dakota State
2022 FCS Champion: South Dakota State A North Dakota State-South Dakota State matchup in the FCS national championship game may be the most anticipated title game in FCS history. The game will pit two of the biggest rivals in the FCS head-to-head in the postseason for the fifth time, but it'll be the first time a title is on the line. 🏆: FCS Championship Game info South Dakota State has been the most successful team against the Bison in their dynastic run, with the Jackrabbits winning three...
