[FONT="]Six teams are needed for a conference to have an auto-bid into the FCS playoffs. Due to conference realignment, the Big South and the OVC are below that minimum requirement. In the last year, the Big South has lost Presbyterian, North Carolina A&T, Hampton, Monmouth, Kennesaw State, and North Alabama, and the OVC has lost Jacksonville State, Eastern Kentucky, Austin Peay, and Murray State.
[/FONT][FONT="]The association will feature nine teams that currently remain in these two conferences: Big South (4) — Robert Morris, Charleston Southern, Campbell, and Gardner-Webb; OVC (5) — UT Martin, SEMO, Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech, and Eastern Illinois.[/FONT]
