Here is a look at some other important games around Super Region 2 that will have major impact on the playoff rankings.

Miles at Tuskegee 1:00 (SIAC)
The winner of this game will play Fort Valley State next Saturday for the SIAC championship. The SIAC is not in a good position right now. As SAC fans, we selfishly want what is best for us and that would mean the SIAC not having a team in the top 8 to make the tournament. We want a SIAC champion with the weakest candidacy for the playoffs. Tuskegee is 7-2 overall, but has two FCS wins which are not counted in their Division II record. Miles is the better candidate right now, so a Tuskegee win would be good.

Virginia Union at #17 Virginia State 2:00 (CIAA)
#19 West Georgia at Florida Tech 1:00 (GSC)
West Georgia is ranked so a loss would be good for Catawba and Carson-Newman. But this does get complicated. Florida Tech has Delta State after this and if they win both games, they could throw their name in the hat as well. More on that later, but in the immediate, a Florida Tech win over West Georgia would be good for the SAC.

Delta State at North Greenville 1:30 (GSC v. Independent)
#22 West Alabama at Valdosta State 2:00 (GSC) Fort Valley v. Albany State 2:00 (SIAC)
Fort Valley has already locked up the SIAC east division and will play for the SIAC championship next week against the winner of the Miles v. Tuskegee game. Fort Valley is currently 5-2 against D2. A loss to Albany State would weaken their case if they happen to win the SIAC title next week, so an Albany State win is the desirable outcome for SAC fans.
