Games with playoff implications in NCAA Division II

With just two weeks left in the NCAA Division II regular season, there's no shortage of games that have either conference championship, and/or playoff implications. Here are a just a few of them that will be played this weekend.

Super Regional 1

West Chester (7-2) at Bloomsburg (9-0): Both teams are a perfect 6-0 in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference East Division play. The winner of this game will likely win the division crown. For the Huskies, a victory would likely all but wrap up the No. 1 seed in Super Regional 1 for the NCAA Division II playoffs.

California (Pa.)--(8-1) at Mercyhurst (6-3): Don't let the three losses of the home team fool you. The Lakers enter this contest at 5-1 in the PSAC West Division, and a very real opportunity to finish with a share of the division title with a win. Last week, Mercyhurst Edinboro 24-21 to earn that chance to shake things up in the Super Regional 1 playoff race.

Honorable Mention: American International (8-0) at Merrimack (5-3)

Super Regional 2

Wingate (8-1) at Carson-Newman (6-2): With both teams at 4-1 in South Atlantic Conference play, this contest could be played for the de facto league championship. The Bulldogs are No. 2 in Super Regional 2, while the Eagles are No. 7.

Arkansas-Monticello (7-2) at North Alabama (8-1): After disposing of defending D-II national champion Valdosta State 41-23 last weekend, the Lions host the upstart Boll Weevils in a Gulf South Conference game that has playoff implications. With its lone loss coming to current regional No. 1 Delta State (7-1), UNA can't afford another loss if it wants to stay in playoff contention.

Honorable Mention: Albany State (Ga.)--(5-3) vs. Fort Valley State (5-4) at Columbus, Ga., Tusculum (6-3) at Mars Hill (6-3)

Super Regional 3

Chadron State (8-1) at Mesa State (6-3): The Eagles are the lone unbeaten team in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play at 7-0, as well as ranked No. 3 in Super Regional 3. But an upset win by the Mavericks, who are 6-1 in RMAC action, could open the door for at least a share of the conference title. Still, a Chadron State win would all but seal an outright crown for the Eagles.

Super Regional 4

Abilene Christian (8-0) at Texas A&M Kingsville (6-3): After impressive wins over West Texas A&M and Tarleton State in back-to-back weeks, the Wildcats control their own playoff destiny against the Javelinas, who need to win their remaining games, and get help to advance to postseason play.
