Montana State Chases Title: First Since 1984?

Montana State is on the cusp of claiming its first FCS national championship title since 1984. As the No. 2 seed, the Bobcats are determined to secure the trophy after experiencing close calls in recent seasons, including a narrow loss in last year's championship game. Their potent rushing attack, led by multiple 1,000-yard rushers, is a key factor in their campaign.

In a remarkable turn of events, the unseeded Illinois State Redbirds have defied expectations. They fought their way into the playoffs as one of the last four teams and have since secured four consecutive victories on the road to reach the championship game. Quarterback Tommy Rittenhouse and star receiver Daniel Sobkowicz have been instrumental in their offensive success.

This championship game marks a unique occasion as it's being held at Vanderbilt's FirstBank Stadium in Nashville. This is a temporary change of venue, as the traditional host site in Frisco, Texas, is undergoing renovations. Chattanooga previously hosted the championship in 2009.
