We’re preparing to enter the holiday season next week, and while I believe the Christmas season does not begin until Thanksgiving ends, many Texas non-FBS teams have provided their fans with early gifts.
An impressive nine non-FBS teams in Texas have already punched a ticket to the postseason, led by UIW and Abilene Christian, who earned automatic bids to the FCS playoffs by winning their respective conference championships outright. Two Lone Star Conference teams are in the postseason, with Angelo State earning the 3-seed in Super Region Four after securing the Lone Star Conference title. At the same time, UTPB accepted an invite to the Heritage Bowl.
