JMU (8-1, 5-0 CAA) has made the playoff field for the past five seasons and has reached the FCS National Championship game twice in the past three years, winning the title in 2016. The Dukes are currently riding an eight-game winning streak, which includes four victories over nationally ranked opponents in the past five contests.

New Hampshire (5-3, 4-1 CAA) earned a berth in the FCS playoffs for 14 consecutive seasons before having that streak come to an end last year. The Wildcats advanced to the semifinals in 2013 and 2014. UNH has won five of its last six games after an 0-2 start, highlighted by two wins over nationally ranked foes.
