WSSU gets top seed in NCAA Division II football playoffs

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina  --  Fans coming to Winston-Salem State playoff games at Bowman Gray Stadium this season will be in for a surprise — green grass.

Earlier this season the city planted rye grass and — instead of a brown tint that was evident during last year’s Division II playoff run, thanks to dormant Bermuda grass — the field should look much better.

Coach Connell Maynor of the Rams hopes his team will look just as good. The Rams (11-0) are the top seed in the Super Region I, and will get a first-round bye in the playoffs and will take on the winner of the Shippensburg-Bloomsburg State game on Nov. 24 at Bowman Gray Stadium. Both Shippensburg and Bloomsburg State are 10-1.

The pairings for the 24-team playoffs were announced tonight.
