STEVENSON, Ala. -- With 10:41 to go in its Alabama Class 4A football playoff game Friday at North Jackson, the Cherokee County band started playing "Respect."
On the final Saturday of the regular season, a few games will determine who makes the FCS playoffs field of 16 and who stays home, while some others will help determine who the top four seeds are and who will have home-field advantage in the first round.
For most of the teams in the Football Championship Subdivision, today's season finales are all about pride and finishing the season on a good note. But for those still fighting for spots in the playoff field of 16, today is the last chance to state their case.
Another guarantee game, another Heisman Trophy candidate. Aren't these money-making matchups hard enough without adding one of the best players in college football to the challenge?
