Overview: The Newberry College Wolves (10-2 overall in 2016) finished unbeaten in South Atlantic Conference (SAC) play at 7-0 to win their first-ever outright league title last fall. But their NCAA Division II playoff run was abruptly interrupted by Tuskegee in a stunning 35-33 upset loss in the first round.

2016 Final Standings-Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC)

Overview: The Randolph-Macon College Yellow Jackets (9-2 overall in 2016) outlasted seven other teams in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference to finish 6-1 within ODAC action, and win their league's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III playoffs. R-MC's postseason run, though, was cut short in the first round, as the Yellow Jackets fell to Johns Hopkins on the road, 42-21.

Changes are on the way for the ODAC-both on and off the field for 2017-as Catholic leaves to join the all-new New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC), while Ferrum will join the conference in 2018.

THE RFC MYC: Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC)-(NCAA Division II)

Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC)--(NCAA Division II)

2016 Final Standings-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC)

Overview: Once again, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) proved to be one of the strongest conferences in all of NCAA Division II, as eight of 16 teams finished the 2016 season with a winning season. Of those eight squads, four of them-California (Pa.), Edinboro, Indiana (Pa.), and West Chester-won at least eight games overall, while three teams-Cal U, Edinboro, and IUP, won at least nine games.

As far as postseason play was concerned, California (11-1 overall in 2016) advanced to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. There, the Vulcans magical run ended with a tough 41-30 loss to Shepherd. Meanwhile, IUP (10-2 overall in 2016) advanced to the second round before falling to fellow PSAC West Division foe, Cal U, 44-23.

With that said, don't be surprised if the races in both the East and West Divisions of the PSAC come down to the final week of the 2017 season.

2016 Final Standings-Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC)

Overview: In just their sixth season of football, the Stevenson University Mustangs finally broke through the barrier in 2016, finishing 8-1 in Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) play en route to winning their first-ever conference championship. However, their NCAA Division III playoff run was cut short by Wesley, as the Wolverines cruised to a convincing 38-14 win in the first round. Don't be surprised if Stevenson is the favorite to win the D-III version of the MAC again in 2017. Although Delaware Valley (9-2 overall in 2016) could provide a serious challenge to the Mustangs this fall.

2016 Final Standings-New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC)

Overview: The Wesley College Wolverines (9-3 overall in 2016) advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division III playoffs, losing to eventual national semifinalist John Carroll in a double overtime thriller. But not before blowing out Frostburg State (10-1 overall), 43-7, on September 10. It was that one loss to Wesley that cost the Bobcats a trip to the NCAA playoffs, despite a season-ending nine-game winning streak, ending with a 38-14 win over St. John Fisher in the ECAC Asa S. Bushnell Bowl.

With a preseason ranking of No. 13 by Street and Smith's magazine, don't be surprised if the Wolverines find themselves in the postseason discussion for 2017.
