šShoutout to both the Johnson C. Smith Golden Bulls for taking home the CIAA championship win and the Albany State Golden Rams for winning the SIAC football championship this past weekend. šThis was especially historic for JCSU, being their first CIAA championship win since 1969, which leads to more HBCU football history.
For the first time in history, five HBCU teams will be in the NCAA Division Il playoffs. The SIACās trio includes Albany State as the No. 1 seed in their region, Benedict returning via at-large bid, and Kentucky State making its first-ever appearance.
For the CIAA, itās the Golden Bullsā first debut playoff, and a return for Virginia Union, marking their fourth straight appearance.
