Welcome to the FCS Football Talk podcast.
On this episode, FCS Playoff Committee chair Matt Larsen and the NCAA’s Ty Halpin join the podcast to help break down many topics:
-New format seeding the top 16 seeds
-The committee using new metrics — KPI, Massey Ratings, and ESPN’s Football Power Index
-Are ranked wins counted
-What criteria or metric is usually discussed the most when forming the bracket, whether it be rankings, overall record, eye test, strength of schedule, ranked wins, etc.?
-What is the selection process in determining the field and the order of seeds?
-There are a few playoff committee members whose school will be in the discussion for a spot somewhere in the bracket. How does that work if, for example, NDSU is being discussed when it comes to seeding?
-Minimum bids to host
-Several FCS playoff games getting a national spotlight
-Toyota Stadium renovations
-Frisco
