This is awesome. Hopefully in true prime time. Didnt see any CFP games on that date.

It’s butter than competing with the final day of the NFL regular season the day before.

A night game could be interesting and tailgating leading up to it will be insane. Most of the time our group stay out way too late the night before and it is rough start the next morning.

Seems like a cool idea. That's the Monday after week 18 of the NFL season next year. CFP semis aren't until later in the week (Thursday and Friday) so should be a nice spot. Was nice to have it on ABC but at least it's going back to ESPN and not the deuce.

If we make it I may be more enticed to go again by this

Better than playing around noon or 1:00 on a Saturday. It's a step up.

Monday night game without other football competition should increase the TV eyeballs significantly.

Monday night game without other football competition should increase the TV eyeballs significantly.I don't think it will change it that much. They are only so many who will watch it. It could see a slight bump, but being on ESPN, I don't see it getting to 3 or 4 million. Still like the move though.

Even 2 to 3 million viewers would double the viewership of past years. Last year's game drew 1.04 million viewers which was down 3% from the previous year when NDSU played the bunnies.

The last two years were played on Sunday against the NFL. That took away a lot of viewers that might have watched more of the FCS game, but your NFL team is a higher priority for many people. Monday by itself will be better than Sunday.

Don’t care. South Dakota St vs Mt/Mt St anyways.

Increase In Playoff Seeds Gets Key Approval
The push to seed more teams within the 24-team FCS playoff bracket got a key approval this week.

The NCAA Board of Directors Finance Committee gave its support to seed 16 teams in the bracket, which would remain at 24 total teams. (In my reporting of this long process, some folks online have read this push as increasing the number of teams in the bracket. That’s not happening. The push is to increase the number of seeds from eight to 16.)

The Board of Governors is the next and final approval needed to push this across the finish line. They meet this Thursday.

Probably better than before in some ways. Although the pessimistic side of me thinks they’ll just fix the seeds to be regional like they already do for 1-8 lol. Especially since things will start getting real muddy for them at 9-16.

Just have the computers do it, it’ll be close enough and much better than it is currently

[KSBisonFan]

And at the end of the day, there's still only 3 or 4 programs with a realistic shot at winning the title.

Can't wait for schools like West Georgia, Mercyhurst, and Texas Rio Grande Valley to join the FCS playoff field starting in 2028.

This is good by watch them regionalize the seeds because really after 1-4 you can sort of make up any order you want anyway.

Hopefully that doesn’t happen and this means a more balanced bracket in terms of regionalization. Balance in terms of quality of teams will never happen because everyone is so terrible at knowing the actually deserved ranking of teams across the FCS.

Yep. It will be very DII. Getting the seeds wrong already distorted the bracket a ton, now their incompetence will be under even more focus with out the skirt of the travel rules to hide behind.

All I am concerned about is having Bison & rabbits on opposite side of bracket. I want to see Bison beat them in Frisco SOOOOO BAD!
