Regional Final: at (3)Northwest Missouri State 37, (4)Central Missouri 20<\/a><\/span>
\nBlake Bolles threw four TD passes, and Northwest (12-1) never trailed as they defeated the Mules for the second time this season. Central ends its year 11-3.<\/p>\nSemifinals<\/strong>:
\nShepherd at Delta State<\/span> 2:00 Eastern, CBS College Sports
\nShepherd annihilated their region to get here. On the other hand, Region 2 is a lot tougher than Region 1, so Delta State did some work as well. While both teams move the ball well, Delta has had questions defensively while Shepherd has shut down some high-powered offenses. I expect Shepherd to break through and reach the title game.<\/p>\nNorthwest Missouri State at Minnesota-Duluth<\/span> 6:00 Eastern, CBS College Sports
\nDuluth, despite being 13-0, is reeling. Two star players are suspended, two others are injured, and the net effect is to seriously damage the Bulldog offense. That said, Northwest cannot afford to fall behind early as they’ve had a tendency to do of late. They’re playing on the road against an undefeated team in what are likely to be crappy conditions. Can Northwest reach their sixth consecutive title game (and avenge their loss in the 2008 championship)? I think so.<\/p>\nNews and Stuff<\/strong>:<\/p>\nGulf South:<\/strong> (Region Two)
