A competitive matchup is expected in the FCS quarterfinals as No. 8 UC Davis gets ready to host unranked Illinois State.
Unexpectedly for UC Davis, the program will get to host a home game in the quarterfinals, which is a welcome advantage. The Aggies are on the hunt for their first-ever semifinals berth, and their 47-26 win over No. 9 Rhode Island in the second round is a good indicator of their postseason strength.
Meanwhile, Illinois State is still riding the high of its stunning upset over top seed and defending national champion North Dakota State last weekend. Despite being the away team in this matchup, the Redbirds are battle-tested and dominant on the road.
These two faced off in last year's playoffs, with the Aggies coming out on top. Who will take the win this time?
