Drake wins the Pioneer and loses to a third place team from another league 66-3.
Duquesne wins the NEC and gets bounced by a team that was the fifth or sixth team to get in from another league 40-7.
I am not bashing these teams or leagues, I'm sure that they look forward to the chance to play, but that just is not reality. Giving these leagues a spot is keeping another deserving team at home. Play-offs should be about the 24 best teams.

There was 10 auto bids. 6 of the 6 that played Saturday lost!!
Austin Peay - ASUN-WAC (UAC)
Gardner Web - Big South-OVC
Duquesne - NEC
Lafayette - Patriot
Drake - Pioneer
Nichols - Southland
4 other auto bids are seeded
16 teams left all from 4 conferences. MVFC, SoCon, Big Sky, and CAA.

Incarnate Word is Southland. They are very good. Lafayette played very well lost on the last few seconds.

And? UIW didn't make the playoffs and Lafayette lost to a crappy Delaware team. Just sayin.. Need to dump the 24 team auto and go back to the best 16 teams with a strict criteria for the playoff spot.

16 teams would be the best as long as they are truly and simply the best 16 teams.

Ticket info has been released from Youngstown State:

Hopefully we can easily fill the initial allotment of tickets we have been awarded!

I see the game is on ESPN+, no local TV from what I see. It would be good to attract the average fan to YSU football by having it on local TV. Anyone know the reason no local TV? Also it seems ESPN is using their own announcers so naybe the cost to broadcast locally may be high or they won't sell it.
