How to watch the 2013 FCS Playoffs Selection Show

Will North Dakota State get a favorable bracket as they hope for a third straight national title?

Scott Sewell-USA TODAY Sports

The FCS Playoffs are set to take place starting November 30, with the final January 4 at FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, Texas. But first, it’s time to learn which teams will be taking part in the festivities.

Time: 11:30 a.m. ET

Channel: ESPNU

The playoffs are expanding from 16 team to 24 this season, with 11 conference champions joined by 13 at-large bids. North Dakota State has to be considered the favorite -- they’re the unanimous top team in the poll as an undefeated 10-0, although Eastern Illinois and Eastern Washington should both give them a run for it.

The Bison are two-time reigning champions, defeating Sam Houston State in the title game each of the past two seasons, including last year by a score of 39-13. The Bearkats are ranked No. 9 in the nation this year, and are expected to make the field.

The last non-North Dakota State to win the title was Eastern Washington.
