Strength of schedule
Division III has abandoned the Quality of Wins Index for the 2007 season and will determine the strength of schedule component using opponents' winning percentage and opponents' opponents' winning percentage. Those numbers follow, through games of Saturday, Oct. 13, courtesy of D3sports.com partner PrestoSports. We've sorted these teams by their regional winning percentage, in order to get the playoff contenders near the top. The number next to them is where they rank in opponents' winning percentage (though without ties). Provisional Division III teams and the NESCAC, which does not participate in the playoffs, are not listed.OWP rank, team Regional record Regional win% Opponents win% Opp. Opp. win% 3 Salisbury 3-0 1.000 .833 .493 15 Wheaton (Ill.) 6-0 1.000 .689 .607 45 Wabash 6-0 1.000 .617 .528 70 St. John's 6-0 1.000 .558 .675 72 Plymouth State 6-0 1.000 .556 .506 81 Capital 6-0 1.000 .542 .623 90 UW-Whitewater 5-0 1.000 .533 .607 99 Muhlenberg 6-0 1.000 .522 .626 112 Washington and Jefferson 3-0 1.000 .506 .578 113 Central 6-0 1.000 .500 .636 114 Mary Hardin-Baylor 6-0 1.000 .500 .537 117 St. Norbert 6-0 1.000 .494 .498 123 Alfred 6-0 1.000 .481 .623 166 RPI 5-0 1.000 .413 .566 177 Waynesburg 5-0 1.000 .397 .505 193 UW-Stevens Point 3-0

Don't miss anything
Around the Nation
There are things you might've missed so far through seven weeks of the Division III football season. And then, there are things you won't want to miss coming up. Who are the big surprise teams so far and will they finish their potential playoff run? Who will surprise down the stretch? Who has disappointed, or has yet to disappoint? Keith McMillan has that and more in this week's Around the Nation . What players and key statistical performances have come out and which are yet to come? What off-field changes will have the most changes as we approach Selection Sunday? Plus, find out McMillan's three keys to bringing more of a big-time feel to Division III football. Why doesn't D3football.com jump all over the Mike Flynt story (hey, he finally played!) the way the big news outlets have? It's all in Around the Nation .
