Triple upsets in D-III

Can't you hear that flushing sound?

That's the sound of several teams playoff hopes going down the drain, or at least limiting their home field advantage in the postseason to one round, as several unranked teams upset their ranked opponents on the final day of the regular season in NCAA Division III football.

In the 115th edition of the "Monon Bell" game at Crawfordsville, Ind., DePauw ended its season on a winning note at 8-2, as the Tigers crushed previously unbeaten Wabash, 36-14. In Bethelem, Pa., the Moravian Greyhounds handed the Centennial Conference champion Muhlenberg Mules their first loss in a 27-24 overtime shocker. Finally, in New Jersey, Kean likely ended any Montclair State hopes for an at-large playoff bid with a 21-18 triumph at home.
