The 24-team bracket for the NCAA Division I Football Championship will be unveiled on the FCS Selection Show at 11:30 a.m. CT on Sunday, Nov. 24, on ESPNU. There are 10 automatic qualifiers and 14 at-large selections. The top eight seeds will have a bye in the first round, which is next Saturday, Nov. 30.  The Committee will seed the Top 16 teams in the 24-team bracket.  The MVFC tied an FCS record (set previously by the CAA and the MVFC) with six bids last year.
 
Our AQ determination is as follows:
• NDSU is AQ with a win (outright MVFC champion at 8-0)
• NDSU is AQ with an NDSU loss at South Dakota and a MoState win vs. SDSU – NDSU wins three-way tiebreaker between MOST-USD-NDSU at 7-1
• SDSU is AQ with an NDSU loss at South Dakota and an SDSU win at Missouri State – SDSU earns tiebreaker between SDSU-NDSU-USD at 7-1 (SDSU is highest-rated in Sagarin)
