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. 20, 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.

Records and winning percentage are based on in-region games only. OWP: Opponents’ winning percentage. OOWP: Opponents’ opponents’ winning percentage.

Lemons in limelight
The Lemon brothers at Linfield, Meadowlark Lemon's grandsons, played Saturday in front of their grandfather and special guests.
Around the Region

Plenty of programs have had four brothers or more filter through at one time or another, or more than one brother on the team or even on the field at once.

But Linfield has been making lemonade out in Oregon all season, with four Lemon brothers on the field at once on the punt team. Chet, Chase, Bubba and Mychal got a special visit from their grandfather, former Harlem Globetrotter Meadowlark Lemon, with father Meadow Lemon on the sidelines as always as cornerbacks coach.

Oh, and they got a visit from Adam Johnson, too. More in this week's Around the West.

Gallaudet hasn't had the easiest transition from the club level to Division III play this season, but the Bison have benefited from a pair of brothers themselves. Robin and Shawn Shannon tell Ryan Tipps about their competitiveness, both with each other and the opposition, in Around the Mid-Atlantic.

It's not just the ACFC title on the line, or even a Pool B bid. It's the pride of U.S. 13 -- not to mention perhaps a recruiting edge -- when Wesley and Salisbury meet Saturday. Adam Samrov gets a take from Wesley coach Mike Drass and Salisbury's Sherm Wood in Around the East.

Now, if you're a quarterback and your name is Jacob Manning, you may wish you were a brother of some other well-known football players. Alas, it's not the case, but Hope's quarterback takes it all in stride. Matt Florjancic has the story in Around the Great Lakes. Plus, an appreciation of former Baldwin-Wallace coach Bob Packard, who died this past week at age 64.

Illinois Wesleyan has been one of the surprises of the season so far, but as Clyde Hughes writes in
Around the Midwest, coach Norm Eash wants to tell you they've really been one step away since their last CCIW title in 2001.

Will the NESCAC ever come out and test itself with the rest of Division III in the playoffs? Perhaps not, but some other changes would be
welcome. Tom Haley explores in Around the Northeast. That and more in this week's Around the Region.
