How Does The NCAA Division 2 Football Playoffs Work?
The 50th anniversary of the NCAA Division II Playoffs will feature 28 teams in a single elimination tournament.
How Division II decides which teams go to the postseason, however, is through a completely different process than the postseasons of the FCS and Division III.
The Super Region system is unique to Division II, where no conference has an automatic bid to the playoffs, and the postseason places are decided by the top-ranked teams in each of the four Super Regions – groups of conferences (and potentially independents) in a similar geographic area.
- More On The NCAA Division II Playoffs: How Do The NCAA Division II Football Playoffs Work?
A top-10 Super Regional ranking of all the conference’s members in a particular Super Region is released each of the final three weeks of the regular season. At the end, the teams considered by the selection committee to make up the top 7 in each Super Region, qualify for their Super Region’s playoff bracket, where the No. 1 seed receives a first-round bye.
For 2023, Super Region 1 mainly consists of Midwestern/eastern schools, Super Region 2 the southeast, Super Region 3 the Midwest, mid-south and Great Plains and Super Region 4 much of Division II’s northern and western membership, plus Texas.
