Every FCS National Champion Since Montana Won It Last

With Monday's FCS National Championship putting an end to the season, unfortunately, Montana will have to wait another year until the Griz have a chance to reclaim the throne.

2001 was the last time Montana captured the natty when they beat Furman 13-6. Since then, there have been 23 champions, with nearly half being North Dakota State. Here we'll look back at the previous 23 championship games.
