FCS playoffs moving into quarterfinals with South Dakota State still the favorite to repeat

If there was any doubt that defending champion South Dakota State is still the team to beat in the Championship Subdivision playoffs, the Jackrabbits provided a resounding answer in their first game: A 41-0 rout of Mercer on Saturday. The Bison won their opener 66-3 against FCS playoff newcomer Drake. It was the record 46th playoff victory for the Bison — against four losses — and moved them into the quarterfinals for the 14th straight season.
