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
