Black- and Whitelist » they finished last in the NBA

(SportsNetwork.com) - Even on the day his New Hampshire football team became the nations top-ranked team two weeks ago, coach Sean McDonnell conceded something about the team they replaced at No. 1, North Dakota State. Theyre the best team in the country, McDonnell said. Top-ranked New Hampshire earned the No. 1 seed for the 24-team NCAA Division I Football Championship on Sunday, but North Dakota State would appear to be the team to beat heading into the postseason. The No. 2 Bison, also seeded No. 2, have won the last three FCS national titles and are chasing an unprecedented fourth in a row. Along the way to their title three-peat a year ago, NDSU defeated New Hampshire by 38 points in the national semifinals at the Fargodome. As the top seeds this season, both teams would play at home through the semifinals. The FCS championship game will be played on Jan. 10 in Frisco, Texas. It was very, very close in a much-discussed situation, selection committee chair Robert Hill said on the ESPNU2 selection show, but we felt New Hampshire, after losing their first game of the year against an FBS opponent (Toledo) went undefeated the remainder of the season whereas North Dakota State lost a conference midway through their conference season. So we felt like that New Hampshire had the better of the two (playoff resumes) in terms of consistency, and we went with New Hampshire. New Hampshire (10-1) enters the playoffs on a 10-game winning streak after winning an outright championship in CAA Football. North Dakota State (11-1) shared the Missouri Valley Conference title with Illinois State. The Valley tied the single-season record of FCS qualifiers with five teams. All eight seeds will have first-round byes when the playoffs kick off on Saturday. Ohio Valley Conference champion Jacksonville State (10-1) earned the No. 3 seed, followed by Big Sky champion Eastern Washington (10-2) at No. 4, Illinois State (10-1) at No. 5, Villanova (10-2) from the CAA at No. 6, Big South co- champion Coastal Carolina (11-1) at No. 7 and Southern Conference champion Chattanooga (9-3) at No. 8. 2014 NCAA DIVISION I FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP (Campus sites until the championship game) (All times ET) FIRST ROUND Saturday, Nov. 29 Sacred Heart (9-2) at Fordham (10-2), noon (ESPN3) Indiana State (7-5) at Eastern Kentucky (9-3), 1 p.m. (ESPN3) Morgan State (7-5) at Richmond (8-4), 1 p.m. (ESPN3) Southeastern Louisiana (9-3) at Sam Houston State (8-4), 2 p.m. (ESPN3) South Dakota State (8-4) at Montana State (8-4), 4 p.m. (ESPN3) San Diego (9-2) at Montana (8-4), 4 p.m. (ESPN3) Liberty (8-4) at James Madison (9-3), 4 p.m. (ESPN3) Stephen F.
