The NCAA Division I playoff selection committee spread the wealth in the 24-team pairings, announced Sunday. National power North Dakota State may not be into sharing. Seven of the 10 conferences involved had multiple qualifiers in the field, which hadn't happened since 2015. North Dakota State, the two-time defending champion and a winner of a record seven of the last FCS titles, earned the No. 1 seed following a 12-0 regular season. The Bison, making their 10th straight appearance out of the Missouri Valley Football Conference, and James Madison have been ranked 1-2, respectively, all season, so as expected, the CAA Football champion Dukes (11-1) claimed the No. 2 seed. On opposite sides of the bracket, they could be on a collision course for the championship game on Jan. 11 in Frisco, Texas.

The Dukes handed the Bison their only playoff loss since 2011 en route to capturing the 2016 title. Both teams have first-year head coaches. "As a team, we talk about 1-0," NDSU's Matt Entz said on the ESPNU selection show. "Each week is its own season, each week has its ups and downs. We try to eliminate any distractions from the outside world, we try to eliminate the noise, make the main thing the main thing." Said JMU's Curt Cignetti: "This is step one, winning the conference, going undefeated in the conference, getting a bye in the playoffs. But this team has its sights set on higher goals. They're hungry, we're healthy, we're in a good position right now to begin this playoff run." - AP College football

Kobe Johnson, Adam Cofield and Trey Lance all ran for touchdowns and FCS top-ranked North Dakota State completed a perfect regular season with a 21-7 victory over Southern Illinois on Saturday. The Bison (12-0, 8-0 Missouri Valley Football Conference) won their 33rd consecutive game, tying their own record (2012-14) for the longest win streak in FCS history and eighth-longest all-time in Division I.

Johnson ran 44 yards for a first-quarter touchdown but Javon Williams Jr. went 28 yards in the second quarter for Southern Illinois. Cofield ran 8 yards for the go-ahead score in the third quarter and Lance added a 34-yarder in the fourth. The three NDSU scoring drives went for 74 yards or longer. The Bison ran for 246 yards with Lance throwing for 146 more. The Salukis (7-5, 5-3) got 117 yards rushing on 23 carries from Williams, but had just 70 yards passing. - AP College Football
