There’s still approximately three weeks until the College Football Playoff kicks off. And there’s a little more than two weeks until the B1G begins its postseason. But there’s still plenty of football in the coming weeks.

As the FBS regular season and Championship Saturday came to an end, the FCS playoffs have gotten underway, already reaching the semifinal round. Just four teams remain following the weekend.

Here are the results from this weekend’s semifinal round:

  • No. 1 North Dakota St. def. No. 8 Colgate 35-0
  • No. 5 South Dakota St. def. No. 4 Kennesaw St. 27-17
  • No. 3 Eastern Washington def. No. 6 UC Davis 34-29
  • No. 7 Maine def. No. 2 Weber State 23-18

That sets up two semifinal matchups with a trip to Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas to compete for a national title on the line. Here is the schedule for next week’s games:

  • No. 5 South Dakota St. vs. No. 1 North Dakota St: Friday, Dec. 14 (8 p.m. ET)
  • No. 7 Maine vs. No. 2 Eastern Washington: Saturday, Dec. 15 (2 p.m. ET)
