FCS Playoffs (projected)
Projected: 10 conference champions get automatic bids (CAA, BS-OVC, MVFC, UAC, SoCon, Ivy League, Patriot, Big Sky, SWAC, Southland), the rest of the 24 by the polls and records. The field is set once the console reaches Bowl Season (after the conference championship games), and the bracket is then played here on the site.
