Having led his team to the NCAA Division I FCS Championship Game last season, Jacksonville State coach John Grass summed up the national playoffs best on Sunday:A team must keep the focus high because it will keep facing great opponents throughout a deep playoff run.A lot of those teams will come from the power conferences as the Big Sky, CAA Football, Missouri Valley and Southern Conference collected four qualifiers each while combining for two-thirds of the 24-team field announced Sunday. Leading the way was No. 1 seed North Dakota State, which seeks to add to its NCAA-record five straight national titles.Through the playoffs, its all (about) how your team plays, Grass said on the ESPNU selection show. I think our guys have some experience there. Its an interesting deal that everybody raises their level of play up and youve got to be ready for that.The single-elimination playoffs begin at campus sites next Saturday and culminate with the FCS championship game Jan. 7 in Frisco, Texas.As long as North Dakota State (10-1), the Missouri Valley co-champ, and No. 2 seed Eastern Washington (10-1), the Big Sky co-champ, remain alive, they are guaranteed home games through the semifinals.Thats particularly noteworthy to North Dakota State -- and the Bison competition, for that matter -- as their dynasty has only had home games at the Fargodome prior to the past five championship games.Our fan base really amps it up when we get to the playoffs, coach Chris Klieman said. I know theyre excited (that) as long as were playing, its going to be at Gate City Bank Field. We look forward to a great playoff.Jacksonville State (10-1), the Ohio Valley Conference champ, earned the No. 3 seed and CAA champ James Madison (10-1) was seeded fourth. Southland Conference champ Sam Houston State (11-0), which enters the playoffs as the only unbeaten FCS team, was the No. 5 seed, followed by SoCon champ The Citadel (10-1), Big Sky co-champ North Dakota (9-2) and Missouri Valley co-champ South Dakota State (8-3). The eighth-seeded Jackrabbits earned the Valleys automatic bid because of a 19-17 win over North Dakota State at the Fargodome.Ten conferences have automatic bids in the playoffs. While the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference relinquished its bid last year to begin sending its champion to the Celebration Bowl, its runner-up, North Carolina A&T (9-2), earned one of the 14 at-large bids.The last teams to miss on at-large bids were Albany (7-4) and Fordham (8-3), selection committee chair Brian Hutchinson said.Interestingly, the last eight FCS champions are in the field with NDSU (2011-15), Eastern Washington (2010), Villanova (2009) and Richmond (2008). Four-time champ Youngstown State (1991, 1993-94, 1997) and James Madison (2004) help combine on 13 past champions.Yup, as Grass said, there are plenty of great teams in the FCS playoffs.2016 NCAA DIVISION I FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP(Campus sites until the championship game)(All times ET)FIRST ROUNDSaturday, Nov. 26Saint Francis (7-4) at Villanova (8-3), 2 p.m. (ESPN3)Weber State (7-4) at Chattanooga (8-3), 2 p.m. (ESPN3)Lehigh (9-2) at New Hampshire (7-4), 2 p.m. (ESPN3)Charleston Southern (7-3) at Wofford (8-3), 2 p.m. (ESPN3)North Carolina A&T (9-2) at Richmond (8-3), 2 p.m. (ESPN3)Illinois State (6-5) at Central Arkansas (9-2), 3 p.m. (ESPN3)Samford (7-4) at Youngstown State (8-3), 5 p.m. (ESPN3)San Diego (9-1) at Cal Poly (7-4), 7 p.m. (ESPN3)SECOND ROUNDSaturday, Dec. 3Lehigh/New Hampshire winner at No. 4 seed James Madison (10-1), 2 p.m. (ESPN3)Samford/Youngstown State winner at No. 3 seed Jacksonville State (10-1), 2 p.m. (ESPN3)Saint Francis/Villanova winner at No. 8 seed South Dakota State (8-3), 3 p.m. (ESPN3)Weber State/Chattanooga winner at No. 5 seed Sam Houston State (11-0), 3 p.m. (ESPN3)San Diego/Cal Poly winner at No. 1 seed North Dakota State (10-1), 3:30 p.m. (ESPN3)Illinois State/Central Arkansas winner at No. 2 seed Eastern Washington (10-1), 4 p.m. (ESPN3)Charleston Southern/Wofford winner at No. 6 seed The Citadel (10-1), 6 p.m. (ESPN3)North Carolina A&T/Richmond winner at No. 7 seed North Dakota (9-2), 6 p.m. (ESPN3)QUARTERFINALSFriday, Dec. 9 and Saturday, Dec. 10Second-round winners, TBA (ESPN Networks)SEMIFINALSFriday, Dec. 16Quarterfinal winners, 7 p.m. (ESPN2)Saturday, Dec. 17Quarterfinal winners, 6:30 p.m. (ESPNU)CHAMPIONSHIPSaturday, Jan. 7Toyota Stadium in Frisco, TexasSemifinal winners, noon (ESPN2) Stitched Soccer Jerseys .

Not everyone in the golf world knew much about Jay Monahan except that he was anointed, and then appointed, the next PGA Tour commissioner.Odds are that Monahan knew about them.Monahan, who takes over on Jan. 1, brings a personal touch that was at times lacking from the three commissioners who preceded him. One example of that came on the practice range a few years ago during the Bridgestone Invitational.Caddies were in the middle of a class-action lawsuit against the tour over their treatment. Tension and mistrust were running high, especially at the sight of Tim Finchem talking with players on the range that day. Along came Monahan, and one caddie was asked if he knew much about Finchems new deputy commissioner.The caddie, his eyes narrowing as he looked Monahans way, said a player introduced them four or five years ago and while Monahan seemed like a decent guy, he would be just like the other suits at tour headquarters.Moments later, Monahan saw a familiar face and stopped to chat. He first introduced himself to the caddie, calling him by his first name.I dont know if you remember, but we met a few years ago, Monahan told him.The mood lightened. Judgment was reserved.Another such moment was in March at the Valspar Championship, where Monahan was sent for an announcement that Valspar was extending its title sponsorship through 2020. These are important deals, though they typically are filled with sleep-inducing corporate lingo. Monahan found time to talk about his aunt, Sue Rooney, who used to work in caddie registration and pestered him during summer holidays about how the Tampa Bay tournament didnt have a long-term sponsorship deal.She passed away in July, Monahan said. Shes looking down upon us all with a big smile today.Remembering names and personalizing moments only go so far when it comes to running an organization that brings in more than $1 billion in revenue, that is trying to figure out how fans will be watching golf 10 years from now when negotiating media deals and is charged with keeping 43 tournaments fully sponsored.Given the rest of Monahans background, it wont hurt.Finchem, who is retiring after 22 years and monumental growth in exposure and prize money, saw enough in Monahan to hire him away from Fenway Sports Management in 2008, get him involved in every important aspect of the PGA Tour and appoint him as deputy commissioner in 2014.Seth Waugh, the retired CEO of Deutsche Bankk Americas, hired Monahan to run the Deutsche Bank Championship and then sent him Finchems way.ddddddddddddI said to Tim when he was looking for someone to put in sales, `The best guy Ive seen is Jay Monahan, who was with the Red Sox then, Waugh said Tuesday. But I said, `If you hire him, hell be your replacement. He laughed. But I meant it.Relative to tour standards, hes had a meteoric rise, Waugh said. Tim recognized he had something different.Running the tour presents challenges large and small.Finchem and Monahan already spent plenty of time in New York this summer with television executives, working on the next deal. FedEx is up for renewal after this year, which is key to the FedEx Cup that the tour has billed as the centerpiece to its wraparound season. Still to be navigated is a game that is global by nature but lacking in structure. And the job that never ends is keeping the tour fully sponsored.Waugh often uses the word balance to describe Monahan, which starts with being a good listener.He tries to say `Yes instead of `No, and he figures out how to solve things, Waugh said. He does his work to figure out an opinion, and then he has an opinion. Hes not afraid to have an opinion, and hes going to make you feel good about having your opinion. Hes balanced, fair. He has a client focus. He will bring a different approach to sponsors, which is sorely needed.In an interview with Golf Digest that was published Tuesday, Finchem praised Monahan for being able to see big instead of small, for looking forward instead of behind him, and for having a skill set and background in sports that was superior to what I enjoyed when Finchem was tapped for the job.I think hes 10 percent more Irish than I am, but substantially more likable, Finchem said. If you talk about public speaking, I have a bit of an advantage over him because Ive been doing it longer. But he has a huge advantage over me because he really connects with people.He has this ability to say things that draw you in, in a meaningful way, Finchem added. If I tell a story, I give the overview. If he tells a story, he takes you there into the minutiae of what happens, and you really live through the moments of the story.Thats the personal touch Monahan brings. Starting in January, hell be measured by where it all leads.
