D3football.com categorizes the 2011 NCAA Division III football playoff bracket this way… What a wild and crazy bracket!
Whitewater is located on the top of the far left portion of the bracket. The first four teams make sense – after that it looks like a travel agent’s nightmare!
Gone is the traditional East, North, South & West regional concept.
The NCAA has severely limited pairings that require a team to be flown to a location – especially through the first two rounds.
That will not be the case this year. My count has nine games matching team from “different regions.”
UW-Whitewater’s bracket will have the winner of the UWW-Albion game playing the winner of the Franklin-Thomas More game in second round action.
The third round game will match the traditional North region teams vs. one of four “East region” teams.
Kean (NJ) plays Christopher Newport (VA) while Salisbury (MD) plays Western New England (MA). The winner from that side-bracket will play the winner of the Whitewater sub-bracket in 3rd round action.
