FCS playoff committee will release its top 10 rankings Thursday during ESPNU's "CFB Daily" show, groundbreaking stuff for the FCS.

This could be interesting.

I saw Dom and another tweeter had UND getting seeded. How far outside of the top 8 do you have them?

Dom's really trying to capture the UND eyeballs, but no, UND shouldn't be seeded at this point. They could arguably be as high as 10, and I really think that's pretty generous.

Just looking at Sagarin ratings and prospective auto-bids, which is obviously not what the committee does (and I don't contend that they should), UND would be on the playoff bubble. Last team out.

So that particular algorithm has about a dozen teams between them an 8 seed.

I have them 12th but Samford and UCA are very close to them in that spot, I think they need some help. I would seed a three loss SDSU team over a two loss UND.
