ESPN Dropped the Ball in the First Round of the FCS Playoffs

Coming into this FCS season, there was an idea that this could be a great opportunity for the FCS to show off. After all, there is no other football to watch, and people are bound to be interested in meaningful football, right?

Well, maybe not. The pandemic continue to create havoc for teams, just as it did during the FBS season. Some teams, like James Madison, had multiple games cancelled. Holy Cross, meanwhile, made the playoffs with just a 3-0 record. Perennial power Montana only played two games, not enough to qualify for the playoffs. Plenty of other teams chose not to play at all.
