(The adjacent graphic is courtesy of D3football.com)Coming up this weekend the NCAA will be releasing the brackets for the NCAA Division III Football Championship via an NCAA.com video stream, with the selection show scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. CT on Sunday, Nov. 13.
With the selection process imminent the one thing UW-Whitewater fans know for sure is that the Warhawks have already gained a berth into the playoff field by way of the earning school’s seventh consecutive WIAC conference championship with its victory last week at UW-Eau Claire.
If the Warhawks defeat UW-La Crosse on Saturday Whitewater will have completed a third consecutive unbeaten regular season. The win also would be UW-Whitewater’s 40th consecutive victory over three years.
A 10 & 0 regular season mark will most likely earn UW-Whitewater a No. 1 seed in either the West region or the North region. The question is which region will UWW be placed in.
Three of the past four years Whitewater has been moved out of the West and into the North to properly balance the four Division III regions. At the same time, Mount Union was moved from the North to the East for the same reason.
Pat Coleman is the Executive Editor of D3football.com and is universally considered one of the foremost authorities on NCAA Division III football.
The Fury Files Blog has published an in depth feature on Coleman and his D3sports.com empire. It gives the reader an inside look at Coleman, Division III football and a look at the upcoming playoffs and if a UW-Whitewater vs. Mount Union VII is in the offing. It is a great read!
