ABILENE - The playoff-bound ACU football team will host a special watch party during the FCS Playoffs Selection Show in the Brown Family Club Level of Wildcat Stadium on Sunday morning.
The Wildcat Football Watch Party is presented by First Financial Bank.
Fans are encouraged to join the Wildcats as we find out who, when and where ACU plays in the FCS Playoffs. Admission is free.
Doors to the club level open at 10 a.m. on Sunday. The event begins at 10:30 a.m. and will feature a chapel service by author and speakerÂ
C.L. Shepherd of Shep Inspires, LLC. Shepherd spoke to the ACU football team during fall camp, and has given impactful messages to NFL and college teams, Fellowship of Christian Athletes groups and businesses.
Following Shepherd's message, ACU Vice President for Athletics
Zack Lassiter will address the crowd and give reminders on playoff ticketing. If ACU is chosen to host a first or second round game, tickets will be available after the selection show.
The Wildcats won the United Athletic Conference championship and earned an automatic berth into the playoffs with their 35-31 victory at Tarleton State last Saturday. This is the first time ACU has made the FCS Playoffs in their Division I era, which began in 2013.
With a win in the regular season finale at Stephen F. Austin on Saturday afternoon, No. 11 ACU has a good chance to host a first round playoff game on Saturday, Nov. 30, or possibly earn a bye into the second round.
The bracket consists of 24 teams with the top eight seeds receiving first round byes, and host their second-round game. The next eight teams, seeded 9-16, host their first round playoff game.
The selection show airs on ESPNU beginning at 11:30 a.m. CT, and will reveal the bracket in the first 30 minutes.
