The opening round of the 2008 Division III football playoffs had a little bit of everything: some shutouts, some shootouts and a good number of upsets, at least when you use the NCAA's seedings as your guide.

Keith McMillan was in Ohio and Pat Coleman was in Illinois this weekend and they'll take you through the key points of every bracket, including a first look ahead at the second round games. Get your short week off to a good start with the Around the Nation podcast.
