The committee will consider each team’s won-lost record, their strength of schedule, Regional Advisory Committee rankings/feedback, and games reviewed by the committee on video. 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.
