Four teams are in the 2009 Division III football playoffs already, and more can join them today if the pieces fall correctly. Today's schedule and scores.

Who will join Thomas More, Monmouth, Mount St. Joseph and Central in the field? Mount Union did so in style, crushing No. 15 Otterbein 58-7. Second-ranked UW-Whitewater did the same with a 40-7 victory over UW-Oshkosh.

No. 20 Delaware Valley was the first team to clinch an automatic bid on Saturday, rolling over Albright 45-16 to remain unbeaten in the MAC. The Aggies scored the first 31 points of the game behind quarterback Mike Isgro, who returned from an injured shoulder. It was the first loss for Albright, which was ranked higher in the AFCA poll and the regional rankings but unranked by D3football.com. The Lions will finish the season against Lebanon Valley, which is also 8-1 after beating Lycoming, 31-21.

Elsewhere in the East region, Ithaca dealt Alfred its first loss 31-10 and denied the Saxons' the automatic bid for at least one week. St. John Fisher rolled over Springfield 34-7 and kept its hopes of making the NCAA playoffs alive.

Fourth-ranked St. John's got a shutout from its defense and clinched the MIAC 28-7 against Augsburg. No. 14 Wittenberg defeated Allegheny 52-10, clinching the NCAC and its first playoff bid since 2006. Trine wrapped up its second straight MIAA title with a 21-16 win over Adrian.

No. 19 Illinois Wesleyan had another showdown with a ranked conference opponent and registered another win, this time topping No. 12 Wheaton (Ill.) 20-17. No. 18 North Central defeated Augustana 45-26, denying the Titans the at-large bid for at least one more week. Illinois Wesleyan will make the playoffs for the first time since 1996 with a win next week at North Park.

If a two-loss team will get an at-large bid, and the odds are not looking likely considering the way the NCAA has stacked the regional rankings deck against them, it might go to No. 17 Ohio Northern. The Polar Bears defeated No. 13 Capital 31-21 as Kyle Simmons ran for 113 yards and threw for 163 more in the victory.

Kean beat William Paterson and Montclair State topped Rowan to set up a showdown for the NJAC title next Saturday. Susquehanna pulled away from Worcester Polytech 35-21 to set up a showdown with Union next week for the Liberty League title.

Randolph-Macon made sure "The Game" against Hampden-Sydney next week will be even larger for the rivals. The Yellow Jackets beat Bridgewater (Va.) 33-23 to set up a showdown with the Tigers for the ODAC title next Saturday. Dontavius Watson ran for two touchdowns after the end of regulation and Averett survived to beat Ferrum 34-28 in triple overtime. That, combined with North Carolina Wesleyan's win at Shenandoah sets up a USA South title game for next week.

Johns Hopkins rolled past Franklin and Marshall 51-13 to keep pace with Dickinson in the Centennial Conference. On Friday night, the Red Devils scored on four of their first five possessions to roll past Juniata 41-14 and remain in contention for the Centennial Conference title.

Monmouth has already punched its playoff ticket, but has a little matter of a Bronze Turkey to secure against rival Knox. And as seniors' careers wind down, perhaps it's best to keep in mind the words of McDaniel senior linebacker Mike Weick. He told the Carroll County Times: "We have 120 minutes left of college football for the rest of our lives," Weick said. "That's a scary thought."

Good luck, seniors. At least McDaniel's seniors had something to be happy about today, with a game-winning field goal in the final seconds to edge Gettysburg 22-20.
