BIG SKY -- The same three teams that were battling for the Big Sky conference title in the final week of the regular season, are the same three teams representing the league in the 2017 FCS Playoffs. Northern Arizona, Southern Utah and Weber State will all represent the Big Sky in postseason play with the hope of earning their first national title. The Big Sky announced its individual award winners for the 2017 season. UC Davis’ Keelan Doss was named the Offensive Player of the Year, while Weber State’s Taron Johnson earned Defensive Player of the Year accolades. UC Davis also received Newcomer of the Year honors with Jake Maier, while Montana State’s Troy Andersen was named the Freshman of the Year. BIG SOUTH -- For the fourth time in the Big South’s eight-year AQ history, the conference is sending two teams to the FCS Playoffs in the same season. Third-year program Kennesaw State earned its first postseason berth as the league’s outright champion and automat- ic bid recipient, while Monmouth collected its first-ever playoff berth in the 25-year history of the program. The Big South is 8-11 in the postseason, and has advanced in five of the last six years. Monmouth’s at-large berth in the FCS Playoffs is the Big South’s fifth at-large entry into the postseason. The previous times were 2006 (Coastal Carolina), 2012 (Stony Brook), 2014 (Coastal Carolina) and 2015 (Coastal Carolina). Meanwhile, Monmouth and Kennesaw State mark the fifth and sixth different Big South members to qualify for the playoffs. The Big South is 5-4 all-time in the first round of the FCS Playoffs, but is looking to snap a two-game losing streak in the opening round of the postseason. Kennesaw State and Monmouth are making their playoff debuts this week, and will look to continue the Big South’s streak of postseason debut victories, which is currently at three. Stony Brook won its first-ever playoff game in 2011, followed by Liberty in 2014 and Charleston Southern in 2015. CAA FOOTBALL -- James Madison captured its third straight CAA Football championship, becoming the first conference team since Boston University (1982-84) to win three in a row. The Dukes also became the first team since UMass in 1977-78 to go undefeated in CAA play in back-to-back seasons. For the fourth year in row, four CAA Football teams were chosen to the NCAA Division I Football Championship field. CAA champion and automatic qualifier James Madison was joined by at-large selections Elon, New Hampshire and Stony Brook. This marks the 10th time in CAA Football history that the league has sent at least four teams to the FCS playoffs. The conference has now had multiple postseason selections in 27 consecutive years, and at least three teams make the field in 12 straight seasons. New Hampshire earned a berth in the FCS playoffs for the 14th consecutive year, extending the longest active streak in the nation. Under coach Sean McDonnell, the Wildcats have recorded 14 straight winning seasons with double-digit victory totals in six of them. IVY LEAGUE -- The crowning of the 2017 Ivy League Champions came after a dominating defensive performance before a crowd of 51,426 in the 134th edition of The Game. Yale, which earned its first outright league title since 1980, sacked Harvard quarterbacks six times and limited its offense to 164 total yards in a 24-3 victory over the Crimson. The Bulldogs, whose con- secutive wins in The Game are the first for the school since 1999 and 2000, had champagne and cigars after putting together a complete, team effort that brought their record to 9-1, 6-1 Ivy. Yale freshman Zane Dudek (Kittanning, Pa.) was a unanimous decision for Rookie of the Year after becoming the first freshman ever to lead the League in rush- ing. Columbia head coach Al Bagnoli led the Lions to an 8-2 season, 5-2 in Ivy play, marking their best overall and conference records since 1996. Columbia was 4-36 in the four years prior to Bagnoli’s arrival. He earned Coach of the Year honors, announced Tuesday. MEAC -- The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference will be well-represented with seven finalists on the various FCS Awards Ballots. N.C. A&T needed to defeat North Carolina Central after three straight defeats to their No. 1 football nemesis cost them three outright conference titles, a playoff berth in 2014 and a Celebration Bowl bid and an undefeated MEAC season in 2016. And defeat NCCU is what the Aggies did Saturday evening in a 24-10 win at Aggie Stadium that led to Aggie fans storming the field to celebrate both an undefeated regular season (11-0) and their first undefeated MEAC season (8-0) in 18 years. In the process, the Aggies also captured their first outright title in 14 years. The Aggies, who knew they were headed to the Celebration Bowl last week, will go there with a chance to complete the first-ever undefeated season by a MEAC team since the league started in 1971. MISSOURI VALLEY -- The MVFC has had a league-record five teams selected to the playoffs three times (2014, 2015, and this year). In the past four seasons, the MVFC has had a total of 19 bids - more than any other league. The league is 92-63 in the NCAA FCS playoffs. Included in that overall record is a .500 or better performance against nine of the 11 conferences it has faced. The Missouri Valley Football Conference has recorded a 44-19 record since 2010 in the playoffs -- better than any other league. Over the last two-plus years the MVFC has a 25-12 record in the playoffs, which includes six intraconference games, meaning the league is 19-6 vs. the rest. In the past seven playoffs (2010-16), five leagues (Big Sky, CAA Football, MVFC, Southern and Southland) have combined to win 126 of 149 total games. The MVFC has 44 of those wins (35 percent). NORTHEAST -- Central Connecticut will put its eight-game win streak on the line at CAA member New Hampshire in the NCAA FCS Playoffs First Round on Saturday, November 25.
