The field is set, and next week 32 teams will start whittling themselves down to just one. All the details, coming up next.<\/p>\n

Automatic bids claimed:<\/strong><\/span> Pool B:<\/strong> (three selections)<\/span> Pool C:<\/strong><\/span> Conference Champions not invited:<\/strong><\/span> NESCAC<\/strong>: Donald McKillop threw six TD passes, capturing the last Middlebury passing record he didn’t already own, in the Panthers’ win over Tufts.<\/p>\n Williams won the conference title outright by defeating Amherst.<\/p>\n Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n Empire 8<\/strong>: Union took a 15-14 lead on a field goal with 7\u00bd minutes to go, but Springfield responded on the following drive to go back up 20-15 (after a missed conversion). The Pride sealed the win 85 seconds later on a 62-yard Matt Ramos pick-six.<\/p>\n After holding it since 2006, Ithaca surrendered the Cortaca Jug to Cortland State. The Bombers were held to only 19 yards on the ground.<\/p>\n Alfred won the conference title and autobid outright last week.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n CCIW<\/strong>: North Central earned the autobid last week, and won the conference title outright by beating North Park this week. Wheaton was granted a Pool C invitation.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n Wisconsin<\/strong>: River Falls finally won a game, led by 375 yards and five TD passes from Ryan Luessenheide.<\/p>\n Peter Petersen forced and recovered a fumble and had two interceptions, one a 21-yard return for a score, as Stevens Point put away Platteville.<\/p>\n Whitewater won the outright title and autobid last week.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n American Southwest<\/strong>: Mary Hardin-Baylor completed the second unbeaten regular season in school history, racking up 699 yards of offense in crushing Texas Lutheran.<\/p>\n Hardin-Simmons pulled to within two points of Lousiana College with half a minute to play, then quickly drove to the 22 yard-line before attempting a potential game-winning 39-yard field goal. The kick was no good, and Louisiana held on for the upset. LC’s Ben McLaughlin and HSU’s Justin Feaster both threw for over 300 yards and had five touchdown passes apiece.<\/p>\n Mary Hardin-Baylor won the autobid last week, and clinched the outright conference title this week in their rout of Texas Lutheran.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n Northwest<\/strong>: PLU drove 76 yards and scored the go-ahead touchdown with 1:10 to go to hold off visiting Willamette and keep their playoff hopes alive. Unfortunately, despite their 8-1 record, they were left out of the field.<\/p>\n Aaron Boehme threw for 214 yards and four touchdowns before halftime, then watched the rest of the game as Linfield defeated Lewis & Clark for the 33rd straight time.<\/p>\n Whitworth RB Adam Anderson ran for six scores and threw for a seventh as as the Pirates pounded Puget Sound. Anderson had 224 yards on the day, and finished his career with 3,338 yards, a school record. His six rushing touchdowns extended his own school career record to 55.<\/p>\n Linfield captured the autobid last week, and won the outright conference title by beating Lewis & Clark.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n Minnesota<\/strong>: Logan Flannery ran for 180 yards, pushing his career total to 4,775, as Bethel handled Augsburg. He’ll have at least one more chance to reach the 5,000 yard mark, as Bethel was invited to the playoffs.<\/p>\n Despite playing in a driving snowstorm which dumped 8 inches on the area, St. John’s had 404 passing yards, 318 by starting QB Joe Boyle, and 604 yards of total offense in their rout of Hamline. The weather resulted in an attendance of only 1,688, the lowest attendance for a Johnnies’ home game since 1992. Despite the low crowd, St. John’s managed to lead Division III in regular-season home total attendance and average attendance.<\/p>\n St. Thomas grabbed the autobid and the outright conference title two weeks ago. Bethel was awarded a Pool C bid.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n Ohio<\/strong>: Otterbein’s Dominic Jones had a 91-yard interception return which basically put a fork in Wilmington’s day. At Capital, Nick VanMeter kicked a 38-yarder in the final minute to give the home team a win over Marietta.<\/p>\n Mount Union secured the autobid last week, then claimed the outright conference title with their shutout win over Muskingum. Ohio Northern received a Pool C bid.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n Middle Atlantic<\/strong>: One of the neatest small-college traditions: Monday afternoon, after having beaten their arch-rival Albright, Lebanon Valley students marched to the home of the college president to request the day before Thanksgiving off from classes. They get another reward for their win; an ECAC Bowl invite.<\/p>\n Good thing Delaware Valley had already sealed the outright title and autobid last week. Trailing 27-20, on fourth-and-six from the DVC 11 with only 3 seconds to go, Widener scored to pull within a point. Rather than send it into overtime, Widener went for two and converted with no time left to score the upset.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n Atlantic Central<\/strong>: Wesley clinched the conference title weeks ago. Both Wesley and Salisbury received Pool B invitations.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n Southern California<\/strong>: Cal Lutheran won the conference title and autobid last week.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n Centennial<\/strong>: Gettysburg sophomore Kody Smith made his first career start, and uncorked 281 yards and three TD passes to lead the Bullets past F&M. Johns Hopkins knocked off arch-rival McDaniel for the 10th consecutive season. Muhlenberg had a chance to tie the game after a touchdown with 1:05 to go, but the PAT was blocked, costing the Mules the opportunity to claim the outright conference title.<\/p>\n Apparently, the last thing you want in this conference is to be all alone in first place. Muhlenberg clinched the autobid and a share of the conference title last week, but their loss this week, along with wins by Ursinus and Johns Hopkins, leaves the final result as a three-way tie for the championship.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n New Jersey<\/strong>: Cortland win the Cortaca Jug for the first time since 2006, helped along by 232 rushing yards from sophomore Justin Autera. Ithaca led 17-3 midway through the third quarter before the Dragons rallied for the win.<\/p>\n Montclair head coach Rick Giancola joined an exclusive club including St. John’s John Gagliardi, Mount Union’s Larry Kehres, and conference colleague Eric Hamilton at New Jersey; the four head coaches are the only active Division III coaches with 200 career wins following Montclair’s victory over Paterson.<\/p>\n As mostly expected, the three-way tie at the top did in fact occur, and Cortland won the opponent’s opponent’s winning percentage tiebreaker, thus gaining the autobid. Montclair snagged a Pool C bid.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n Iowa<\/strong>: Wartburg had already secured the autobid last week; they claimed the outright conference title with the win over Simpson. Coe received a Pool C invite.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n Southern<\/strong>: Rhodes scored with a minute to go and knocked off Sewanee in the Orgill Trophy game. Following the win, Rhodes head coach Joe White stepped down from his position after fourteen years on the job — the longest tenure in school history.<\/p>\n DePauw won the outright conference title and autobid two weeks ago.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n University<\/strong>: Chicago wins the outright conference title with their win over Washington. Alas, their season ends, as they did not receive a Pool B nod.<\/p>\n Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n Old Dominion<\/strong>: The 116th meeting between Hampden-Sydney and Randolph-Macon was a good one. RMC jumped out to a 14-0 lead on a fumbled punt return and a blocked punt recovery before HSC reeled off 28 unanswered points. RMC then fought back themselves, but came up short, scoring with under a minute to go and recovering the onside kick, but failing to capitalize from there.<\/p>\n Washington & Lee won their seventh straight, the longest winning streak for the school since 1982. A win in the opening round against Thomas More would result in the team’s longest streak since 1963.<\/p>\n Washington & Lee won the autobid and outright conference title last week. Hampden-Sydney was awared a Pool C bid.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n Liberty League<\/strong>: Rensselaer’s Peter Nilson popped a 29-yard field goal with no time remaining to give RPI the win over Merchant Marine. Hobart missed the point-after following a score in the second overtime, giving Rochester’s Zachary White-Stellato the chance to win the game when Rochester answered on their possession.<\/p>\n St. Lawrence claimed the autobid last week, and sealed the outright conference title by knocking off WPI. Marcus Washington ran for 256 yards, breaking the school’s single game rushing record.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n Presidents’<\/strong>: Waynesburg went for two in overtime and failed, handing W&J the victory in the Backyard Brawl.<\/p>\n Thomas More earned the outright conference title and autobid last week.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n Heartland<\/strong>: Franklin won the conference title outright, and the automatic bid, by beating Hanover.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n Michigan<\/strong>: Trine took care of business with a major contribution from Aaron Selking. Selking had three interceptions and forced two fumbles to help knock off Albion and secure the outright conference title and the autobid.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n North Coast<\/strong>: Allegheny led Oberlin 17-0 with 1:29 to play when Oberlin decided to make things interesting, although their effort ultimately came up short. Ohio Wesleyan freshman QB Mason Espinosa threw for 471 yards and six TDs as the Bishops, tied at 21-21 in the third quarter, turned on the afterburners and throttled Hiram. And Wabash took DePauw behind the woodshed in the Monon Bell, preventing the Tigers from both a perfect regular season and from evening the all-time series between the schools.<\/p>\n Wittenberg avoided the ridiculous tiebreaking procedure in the NCAC by beating Wooster and claiming the undisputed conference championship and autobid.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n USA South<\/strong>: Methodist’s loss to CNU ended the career of Monarch head coach Jim Sypult, who’s retiring after 18 years in charge. After the game, CNU head coach Matt Kelchner approached Sypult and his team and presented his counterpart the game ball, signed by Kelchner and all the CNU players.<\/p>\n Christopher Newport grabbed the autobid with the win over Methodist; NC Wesleyan’s win ensured a shared conference title.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n Midwest<\/strong>: Saturday:<\/span> New England FC<\/strong>: Mike Lane scored on a five-yard run with 58 seconds left to life Endicott past Maine Maritime in a contest in which the Gulls twice responded after being down by 11. Naturally, with the win Endicott earned the conference title and autobid.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Eastern CFC<\/strong>: Husson named current Associate Head Coach Sean Murphy as their new head coach, replacing Niles Nelson, who was let go last week.<\/p>\n SUNY-Maritime clinched the outright conference title and autobid two weeks ago. They were rewarded with a Pool B invitation.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n Northern<\/strong>: Benedictine had already clinched the autobid last week; by beating WLU, they claimed the outright conference title.<\/p>\n Saturday:<\/span> Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n Upper Midwest<\/strong>: Greenville had already won the conference title outright. They were not awarded a playoff berth.<\/p>\n Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n Independents<\/strong>: Final Standings:<\/span><\/p>\n The field is set, and next week 32 teams will start whittling themselves down to just one.
