I just listed some!!

For all I know there are going to be 24 teams soon.
I think Big Sky will get: Montana State & Montana...at least.
I don't see Pioneer getting an at-large. What about Big South? Could Coastal or Stony Brook get one?

I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out. The first thing I noticed was no BSC at-large.

And the Great West Conf doesn't have an autobid. In fact, that conference won't even exist after this year...
edit: but I see you included the Ivies, and the text says conf champs and/or autobids...

It's nothing personal. The BSC has been getting at least 1 at-large since I've been paying attention to FCS. But it is important to understand that the CCA can get as many as 4 at-large bids. Anything less is unheard of.

Yeah, it's a good conference. The media here only pays attention to it when the Big Sky is in the FCS title game or Montana is up against Montana State. That gets about 2 minutes of time or less.

Don't worry about it, most every paper is going under. LA and Southern CA would never give two shits about FCS football. The Sacramento media carries the jock of the Bay Area Pac-12 schools and the NFL teams. I have no idea what media Cal Poly gets. I would hope they get decent coverage by their local media as they are good distance away from large metropolitan areas.

A rather chalk list. These are either the 2010 champs or the perennial favorites.

the only way the Big South gets an at large is if we have two or three teams with 9 wins come season's end
