I figured we should have a dedicated thread to discuss the FCS playoff bracket, seeds, etc.

The FCS twitter account says that they will reveal the top 4 seeds at 10:30.

I wanted to post last year's Bids By Conference for comparison to this year's field.

2013:
Big Sky (4) - Eastern Washington, Montana, Northern Arizona, Southern Utah
Colonial (3) - New Hampshire, Maine, Towson
Ohio Valley (3) - Eastern Illinois, Jacksonville State, Tennessee State
Southland (3) - McNeese State, Sam Houston State, Southeastern Louisiana
Mid-Eastern (2) - Bethune-Cookman, South Carolina State
Missouri Valley (2) - North Dakota State, South Dakota State
Patriot (2) - Lafayette, Fordham
Southern (2) - Furman, Samford
Big South (1) - Coastal Carolina
Northeast (1) - Sacred Heart
Pioneer (1) - Butler

Edit: Bids by Conference 2014:
Missouri Valley (5) (+3) - Illinois State, Indiana State, North Dakota State, Northern Iowa, South Dakota State
Colonial (4) (+1) - James Madison, New Hampshire, Richmond, Villanova
Big Sky (3) (-1) - Eastern Washington, Montana, Montana State
Southland (3) - Sam Houston State, Stephen F. Austin, Southeastern Louisiana
Big South (2) (+1) - Coastal Carolina, Liberty
Ohio Valley (2) (-1) - Eastern Kentucky, Jacksonville State
Mid-Eastern (1) (-1) - Morgan State
Northeast (1) - Sacred Heart
Patriot (1) - Fordham
Pioneer (1) - San Diego
Southern (1) (-2) - Chattanooga

Biggest gain of bids: Missouri Valley
Biggest loss of bids: Southern

Eastern Washington, Jacksonville State, New Hampshire, and North Dakota State are all top 4 seeds. The tweets do not state what their specific seeding is.

Just not the bracket with nds or ew

That is the thing. The #8 seed will get the bye but will with a win have to play at #1 NDSU.

So, i it off to Liberty? Can't believe freaking Coastal collapsed

#1 New Hampshire? I was still expecting NDSU as #1. Yes New Hampshire's loss was to FBS but it was a weak MAC team (same caliber we nearly beat last year) while NDSU was to a good UNI team.

No seed

Just hope for a home game now.... And a good possible 2nd round matchup.

Indiana st might have stolen Richmonds spot

For those watching, the team listed at the top of the matchup is the home team.

so we are on the side with:

North Dakota St
Villanova
Jax St
Coastal

I think we are definitely on the tougher side of the bracket

Why couldn't that guy say MONTANA?

stole MEAC's 2nd bid.

MEAC only going to get 1. Jay Walker will go off after the bracket is done.

SFA in as well. I gotta think one of those two took Richmond's spot. No way there's room for the ticks.

And no Liberty or JMU has been shown yet.

Why am I nervous about this? haha

We're in, right?

i'm nervous we are going to get sent to LU

If no Richmond than we defiantly go to Liberty right?

I got a bad feeling about this.

NoBowls.com has been almost perfect so far. I didn't realize Fordham/Sacred Heart is a rematch. That bodes well for RU getting sent to Liberty.
