Sunday will see Kentucky take on UNC Charlotte for the final spot.
NCR D1AA Playoff Teams Decided
Texas A&M defeated Sam Houston State 34-24 to win the Lonestar Conference, but both of those teams are already in the NCR playoffs.
The victory for Texas A&M, however, ensured them a week off before the quarterfinals on November 22.

Babson had come in having upset previously unbeaten Northeastern, a team that had defeated BC. But that's why they play the game. Boston College's attack has been building nicely and they opened up an early lead.
Babson Did What?
Probably the biggest head-turner result in D1AA over the weekend was Babson eking out a 48-47 win over Northeastern in the Liberty Conference semifinals.
Big Wins for Northeastern, BC as They Lead in Liberty D1AA
Northeastern is still on top of the Liberty D1AA after a 67-5 win over UConn.
For Head Coach Ed Turbridy, success has come when his team is composed. When they play unflustered and organized on attack, with freshman flyhalf Harry Johnston pulling the strings, they score tries.
And then they combine that with toughness; prop Simon Coleman setting the tone up front.
