The 2024 D2 Football playoffs are right around the corner and teams across the country have had all season to prove their mettle and bring their best to earn a chance at winning the 2024 NCAA Division II Football National Championship. Only 28 teams will move into the playoffs and fight it out in the five-round tournament.

If you've been keeping up on FloFootball this season, you'll see a lot of familiar names amongst the top 10 teams in each Super Region including GLIAC, South Atlantic, and Gulf South powerhouses near the top like Ferris State, Grand Valley State, Valdosta State, Wingate, and many more.

Here's how to watch the 2024 NCAA Division 2 Football Playoff Selection Show on FloFootball.

How Do The NCAA Division 2 Football Playoffs Work?

The 2024 edition 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. 

A top-10 Super Regional ranking of all the conference 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. 

How Do The NCAA Division 2 Football Playoff Super Regions Work?

For 2024, 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.
