Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC)

Quick Analysis: Yes, they may have lost just one game in 2015.Yet, it was that one loss that cost Wartburg a chance to advance to the NCAA Division III playoffs last fall. Dubuque crushed Wartburg 45-13 en route to the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC) championship on October 17. That should make for a huge rematch between the Spartans and Knights, respectively, on October 29. Off the field, the IIAC welcomes its first non-Iowa member in Nebraska Wesleyan for 2016.
Midwest Conference (MWC)

Quick Analysis: After splitting into two divisions the last two years, the Midwest Conference (MWC) will revert to just one 10-team group for this year. And the standard bearer for this often underrated D-III circuit is St. Norbert. The Green Knights have 16 MWC titles dating back to 1984, as well as six seasons of having lost at least one league game or less over the last 10 years. Don't be surprised if they win yet another conference crown this fall.
Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC)

Quick Analysis: Despite having played football for only eight years, the College of St. Scholastica Saints have quickly established themselves as the team to beat in the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC), having won or shared the last five league titles, while losing just one conference game during that span. Expect the rest of the UMAC to chase St. Scholastica again in 2016.
