Elimination Saturday
Huntingdon makes its Division III playoff debut against a fellow postseason newcomer, Mississippi College.

Half the field gets cut down every Saturday from here on out, until one team is left to hoist Walnut and Bronze in Stagg Bowl XXXVII on Dec. 19 in Salem, Va. So this weekend isn't all that different from any other, except that we'll lose 16 teams, most of them in a two-hour span between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. ET.

It's the best two-hour period of the season, by most accounts, when games come down to exciting finishes and we have our first look at the second-round pairings. And you can follow it all on D3football.com, through our Scoreboard.

There's live video, live audio and live stats, plus we'll be updating the Scoreboard for games that aren't covered. Plus, get the skinny on all 32 teams with our annual playoff team capsules.

This is your last chance to enter the D3football.com Pick 'em contest and join more than 700 fellow Division III football fans. Plus D3football.com will be live on hand at a bunch of games, so check the Daily Dose for more info and follow @d3football on Twitter to get the latest updates while you're at the stadium.

Will any lower-seeded teams pull off the upset? Will Mount St. Joseph, DePauw or Huntingdon salvage their seasons after losing in Week 11? Will playoff newcomers Maine Maritime shock the bracket with a first-round win?

Also on Saturday, a handful of teams in the East will be playing in ECAC postseason bowl games, plus Geneva and Greenville will play in the NCCAA's Victory Bowl, ending their season.

Our picks to surprise, disappoint
It's an annual tradition here at D3football.com, where our pundits pick over the brackets and choose teams that will surprise, ones that will disappoint and decide who will win each bracket.

This year, the four pundits have a fair amount of agreement. And sure, Mount Union and UW-Whitewater are smart picks in a lot of games.

But how do we get there? Who will stand in their way, if indeed this is a relentless march to Purple Party V?

That's what we tackle in this week's Around the Nation.

Plus, Keith McMillan has plenty to say about this bracket, whether it's about the much-discussed lack of seedings and openness in this year's bracket, what he'd like to see changed, and many possible ways to look at the last Pool C decision. That and more in Around the Nation.
