Correct, you gave JMU the auto, which they certainly can get.

What is the tie-breaker for the CAA, if 3 teams finish with no losses and a different number of wins.

Imagine a one loss JMU not getting in. It’s possible.

Richmond beats JMU and Hens win out... both 5-0 in CAA, both go, JMU stays home.

Not to put the horse before the cart but If the Hens beat Albany and Nova, they'd be 5-0. JMU can only get to 4-0. Richmond can get to 5-0 if they play and win all their remaining games.

Wrong. 5-0, 4-0, and 3-0 are all 100% winning percentage.

INDIANAPOLIS – The Division I Football Championship Committee released a top-10 ranking on Thursday, April 1. The announcement was revealed during ESPNU’s 7:30 p.m. ET broadcast of the Kentucky vs. Mississippi State baseball game.

Using selection criteria and results through games played on Sunday, March 28, James Madison of the Colonial Athletic Association earned the top spot in the nation with an unblemished 4-0 record. The defending national champion North Dakota State Bison (5-1) and South Dakota State Jackrabbits (4-1) both representing the Missouri Valley Football Conference followed in second and third place, respectively. The Southland’s Sam Houston (3-0) was selected fourth while the MVFC’s North Dakota (4-1) and Weber State (3-0) of the Big Sky Conference tied for fifth place to round out the top five slots.

“With only a few weeks left before Selection Sunday, during a unique year with both fall and spring competition, this top-10 reveal is a great way to highlight FCS Football.” said Kyle Moats, chair of the committee and Director of Athletics at Missouri State University.

The remainder of the top-10 includes the CAA’s second conference member among the rankings with Delaware (3-0) at seventh followed by VMI (5-0), a Southern Conference member, in the eighth position. The Big Sky’s UC Davis (3-1) is ninth, followed by Murray State (5-0), an Ohio Valley Conference member, who earned the 10th and final position.

“The ranking provides a snapshot look at potential teams competing for top seed positions in the upcoming 2020 FCS Championship.” said Moats. “As a committee, we’ve had robust conversations and look forward to the many football games left to play, along with additional discussions with our regional advisory committees, to continue to evaluate the teams that we feel have already built impressive resumes.”

The reveal is based on the criteria used to select and seed teams for the Division I Football Championship. At any time during the process, the committee may consider comparative data of individual teams, including but not limited to overall record, record against Division I opponents, record against opponents from other automatic qualifying conferences, record against Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) opponents, head-to-head record, common opponents’ record, FCS Coaches Poll, NCAA Simple Rating System data and input from regional advisory committees.

The announcement is part of the continued team assessments that will culminate with the final bracket, revealed during the selection show on Sunday, April 18, at 11:30 p.m. ET on ESPNU.

The 2020 championship field will consist of 11 automatic qualifiers and 5 at-large qualifiers. Fall competitions will be considered when determining the field for the spring championship.

All rounds of the FCS playoffs will be broadcast on ESPN’s family of networks with first-round games taking place Saturday, April 24 and concluding with the national championship game at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas, Sunday, May 16, at 2 p.m. ET on ABC.

Top-10 Rankings (record through games played on Sunday March 28):

1. James Madison (4-0)
2. North Dakota St. (5-1)
3. South Dakota St. (4-1)
4. Sam Houston (3-0)
T-5. North Dakota (4-1)
T-5. Weber St. (3-0)

I think every team that made it through the season without quitting should get participation trophies. Forget about crowning a champion.

So you don't think that winning a Natty this year is a little watered down? Kind of like winning the I-AA Natty in 1979?
