herosports.com/fcs-playoffs-non-d1-wins-bzbz/Playing a non-Division 1 game could be a factor for multiple FCS teams this season when it comes to the playoff selection process. Non-D1 victories do count toward your resume. But number of D1 wins can also play a big role in postseason positioning. How the playoff committee views non-D1 wins has been talked about plenty in the past, and it’ll ramp up the closer we get to Selection Sunday. A number of playoff-potential teams have non-D1 wins on their resumes: No. 1 South Dakota State, No. 7 UIW, No. 16 Montana, No. 20 Central Arkansas, and No. 22 Weber State (rankings via the Oct. 9 media poll).

I don’t think this is really saying things are different. If you are a bubble team (7-4 or so) like we were several years ago, if one of your wins comes against a lower level then it is going to hurt you getting in. Or if you are say 9-2 it will hurt you trying to get a seed against other 9-2 teams with 9 D1 wins. I guess the language is different in that the games are not totally ignored, but the impact doesn’t seem any different to me.
