Every week after the Stats Perform FCS Top 25 media poll is released, we will publish the resumes for the Top 10-ranked teams.
The resumes, at least for the teams in the playoff hunt, will paint the picture of what the playoff committee looks at before Selection Sunday (although watching the games gives the clearest picture). Resumes include overall record, record against FCS opponents, Division 1 wins, non-counter wins, FBS wins and losses, ranked wins at the time of the game, wins against teams currently ranked in the Top 25, and strength of schedule.
