These projected standings and playoff field are based on the FCS Congrove Computer Rankings at CollegeFootballPoll.com. The FBS Rankings began in 1993, and have been published on the internet since 1999. The FCS Rankings began during the Covid season (2020-2021).
Even with a new head coach, South Dakota State looks to defend its National Championship vigorously. John Stiegelmeier got his one and only FCS title in his 26th season as head coach and then retired. It would be rather ironic if his former player and longtime assistant, Jimmy Rodgers, were to accomplish that feat in his first year at the helm. Rodgers was an assistant under Stiegelmeier since 2013 and served as his sole defensive coordinator and assistant head coach in 2022.
However, the computer rates Montana State slightly above the Jackrabbits with the Bobcats poised to claim the school's first title since 1984. Montana State lost to North Dakota State in the 2021 fall season championship game. The Bobcats have made the playoffs 12 times since they began in 1978, and reached the semifinals 4 times.
Speaking of North Dakota State, the perennial threat is a projected 4th-place finisher in the Missouri Valley Football Conference, but is still slotted 10th nationally. Shockingly, the computer does NOT have the Bison as a Top 8 seed, but it does give them a first-round playoff game in the Fargodome. North Dakota State has played in 10 of the last 12 FCS Championship games and won 9 of those.
William & Mary is another familiar name among the Projected Top 8 seeds. The Tribe have never made it to the Final Two, but have made the playoffs 11 times, the quarterfinal 5 times, and the semifinals twice. William & Mary's conference, the Coastal Athletic Association, is stacked with quality programs. It is expected to put 4 teams in the playoffs, joining the Big Sky and the MVFC. The Tribe were blown out 55-7 on a very cold night at Montana State in last year's quarterfinals.
Montana State's chief rival, the Montana Griz, look to land a No. 5 seed. The program has two national titles to its credit (1995 and 2011) and lost in the championship game five times between 1996 and 2009.
