RFC Summer Semester--Most pivotal match-ups by Division/Conference/Region (NCAA Division III South Region)

American Southwest Conference: Mississippi College at Mary Hardin-Baylor (October 9): While both the Choctaws and Crusaders, respectively, shared the ASC title, as well as reached the NCAA Division III playoffs, both in 2009, it was MC emerging victorious, 17-14, over UMHB, to earn the postseason autobid. The 2010 match-up should have even more anticipation.



Atlantic Central Football Conference: Wesley at Salisbury (October 30): The Wolverines have outscored the Sea Gulls 66-33 in their last meetings; 36-21 in 2008, and 30-12 in 2009.



Centennial Conference: Johns Hopkins at Franklin & Marshall (November 6): Early November showdown could settle the issue in the CC.



Old Dominion Athletic Conference: Randolph-Macon at Hampden-Sydney (November 13): The 116th edition of "The Game" could have more at stake in 2010, as both the Yellow Jackets and Tigers, respectively, have landed the last two playoff autobids representing the ODAC. R-MC upset H-SC to advance in 2008, while the Tigers returned the favor in 2009.



President's Athletic Conference: Washington and Jefferson at Thomas More (September 25): The Saints enter the 2010 season with a 12-game winning streak in PAC games dating back to 2008.



Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference: DePauw at Centre (September 18): Defending SCAC champion Tigers will get tested early against the upstart Colonels.


USA South Athletic Conference: Averett at North Carolina Wesleyan (November 13): Battling Bishops may have to battle their way past the Cougars for their third USAC title, as well as NCAA playoff berth, in four years.

Independents: Huntingdon at LaGrange (November 6): Both the Hawks from Alabama (2009), as well as the Panthers from Georgia (2008), have been to the D-III playoffs in each of the last two seasons. Don't be surprised if either team makes a serious run for postseason play in 2010.
