Secondary tools are four metrics that may be considered, all including only games from the current season (KPI, Massey Ratings, and ESPN’s two Football Power Indexes).
The FCS Selection Show will air on ESPNU at noon ET on Nov. 23.
The national championship game is Jan. 5 at Vanderbilt’s FirstBank Stadium in Nashville.
