BREAKDOWN--The NCAA Division II Playoff Picture

Only one week remains in the NCAA Division II football regular season.

That represents one last chance for teams that want to make the playoffs to make their case to the selection committee. So, without further ado, here are the key games in each of the four so-called "Super Regionals".

Super Regional 1

West Chester (8-2) vs. California (Pa.)--(9-1): The Golden Rams upset win over previously undefeated Bloomsburg sets up a re-match against the West Division champion Vulcans in the first-ever Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference title game. California defeated West Chester 44-32 in the season opener on Aug. 30. While the Vulcans lone loss came against the Huskies, the Golden Rams only other defeat was against Delaware of the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision.

Elizabeth City State (7-3) vs. Shaw (7-3): The Vikings will square off against the Bears for the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) championship in Durham, N.C. Saturday. However, a third team, Fayetteville State (8-2), is ranked eighth in the latest Super Regional 1 poll, while ECSU is tenth. So, under the "earned access" rule, the Broncos could still make the playoffs even if the Vikings win.

Southern Conneticut State (7-2) at American International (9-0): Although this contest doesn't count in the Northeast 10 Conference standings, it does decide whether or not the league champion Yellow Jackets can finish the regular season unbeaten, not to mention maintaining one of the top two seeds in the Super Regional 1 bracket.

West Liberty State (6-4) at Seton Hill (9-1) and Charleston (W.Va.)--(7-3) at Glenville State (7-3): Although the Griffins are the only team from the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference team currently ranked the Super Regional 1 poll (No. 5), there could be a four-way tie for the league title depending upon the outcome of this weekend's game. A Charleston win over Glenville, plus a West Liberty win over Seton Hill would result in "quad-champions" being crowned, as all four teams would finish the 2008 season with identical 6-2 records in WVIAC play. But, a Seton Hill win over West Liberty, plus a Glenville loss to Charleston, would mean an outright conference title for the Griffins.

Super Regional 2

Delta State (8-1) and North Alabama (9-1) are Nos. 1 and 2 in the Super Regional 2 bracket, while defending national champion Valdosta State (8-2) is No. 3, with the Blazers regular season already having been completed. That leaves a spirited battle for the three remaining playoff spots, mostly involving teams from the South Atlantic Conference.

Tusculum (7-3) at Carson-Newman (8-2): The Eagles can clinch the SAC title outright with a win over the Pioneers.

Mars Hill (6-4) at Wingate (8-2): The Bulldogs must win to maintain their hold on a potential No. 5 seed in the Super Regional 2 bracket.

Super Regional 3

Grand Valley State (9-0) at Wayne State (Mich.)--(8-2): The Lakers can wrap up an undefeated regular season--as well as the No. 1 seed in Super Regional 3--with a win over the Warriors.

St. Cloud State (7-3) at Minnesota State (8-2): The No.5 Mavericks can secure a postseason bid with a win over the No. 9 Huskies.

Super Regional 4

Tarleton State (8-2) at West Texas A&M (9-1): The Wildcats and Texans meet with no worse than a share of second place overall in the Lone Star Conference on the line. WTAMU could finish with a share of the overall conference crown should Abilene Christian (9-0) lose to Midwestern State (6-3).
