FCS teams much longer playoff than the 4-team CFP model
FRISCO, Texas (AP) - Imagine Oregon and Ohio State both having to play at least two more games before getting to that national championship game.
They would then know what North Dakota State and Illinois State have already experienced this postseason to get to the FCS title game. Just like teams at the lower level formerly known as Division I-AA have done for so many years before this first four-team playoff in major college football.
When the Bison (14-1) and Redbirds (13-1) play Saturday in Frisco, Texas - about 40 miles from the Dallas Cowboys' stadium where the long-awaited College Football Playoff title game will be played Monday night - it will be the fourth playoff game for both already this season.
