FCS college football tends to feature many of the same national title contenders year to year, and, of course, the scenario is led by the North Dakota State dynasty.

The 2020 postseason could have a familiar look because many of the teams that made deep playoff runs this past year appear primed for encores. The Bison will have a veteran team, something they didn't have going into the 2019 campaign, yet that didn't stop them from going 16-0 and winning a third straight FCS title and eighth in the last nine seasons.

They're favored to get back to the title game in Frisco, Texas, but other top programs are in the national title mix, too.

Here are eight teams that hope to be on top of the FCS in 2020.
