Two wins. That’s all the separates Jacksonville State, North Dakota State, Sam Houston State and Richmond from the 2015 FCS National Championship.

In the first semifinal matchup, North Dakota State, which will likely again be without star quarterback and potential first-round NFL draft pick Carson Wentz, continues its march towards a fifth consecutive national title with Easton Stick under center. The No. 3 Bison will host Richmond, who made impressive work of No. 2 Illinois State in the quarters.

On the other side of the bracket, No. 1 Jacksonville State, whose only loss on the season was a near-upset of Auburn, will take on Sam Houston State, who are looking to make it to their third title game in five years.
