Week 3 FCS Football Bracketology Breakdown

 
 
Last Four In: Richmond, Abilene Christian, Sacramento State, Northern Arizona
 
First Four Out: Austin Peay, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Stony Brook
 
 
Once again, a Dakota school taking on a Montana school highlighted the FCS schedule in week three. The Grizzlies moved to 2-0 with a quality 24-23 home win over North Dakota. The Fighting Hawks are now 1-2, but lost at Kansas State by three points and at Montana by one point. As always, the MVFC schedule will be difficult, but North Dakota is capable of picking up some big conference wins and remaining in the playoff race.
