Here's What The NCAA FCS Playoffs Look Like

The NCAA FCS football playoffs consist of 24 teams in a single-elimination bracket, including: 

• 10 automatic qualifiers: Ten teams automatically qualify for the 2024 playoffs by winning their conference. The conferences include: ASUN-WAC, Big Sky, Big South-OVC, CAA, MVFC, NEC, Patriot, Pioneer, SoCon, and Southland. Five of the conference champions have already been determined before the last week of play takes place on Saturday, Nov. 23.
• 14 at-large bids: The FCS Playoff Committee determines which 14 teams should advance to the playoffs based on a combination of overall record, record against Division I opponents, record against FBS opponents, head-to-head, and other comparative data.

The teams that have already earned automatic bids are: Abilene Christian, Montana State, Richmond, Mercer, and UIW.

How Are Teams Seeded For The FCS Playoffs?

Once the field is set and the 24 teams have been decided, the committee seeds the top eight teams and submits them to the top eight pool. A team must receive at least 30 percent of the votes to be included in the seed pool.

Once that is completed, each member ranks the teams in the seed pool via poll vote. After reviewal and further discussions, the seeds are then finalized. These eight teams receive a first-round bye, while the remaining 16 are paired according to geographic proximity and placed in the bracket according to geographic proximity to the top eight seeds.
