Northwest Missouri State 69Regional Rankings Part 2 and Playoff Watch:

On Monday, the NCAA released the second Regional Rankings, and this is how the committee ranked the top 10 in SR3:

1. NWMSU
2. Sioux Falls
3. Harding
4. ESU
5. Minnesota Duluth
6. Azusa Pacific
7. UCM
8. Bemidji State
9. Southern Arkansas
10. Henderson State

As I said before, Emporia and Central both moved up in the rankings this week (Central Washington and Winona State dropped out of the top 10 after their losses to APU and Augustana, repectively). We are down to just 11 teams with two or less losses in the region, and none of them will play each other in the last two games of the season (although APU still has a big game against Colorado Mesa in the season finale):


NWMSU
Harding
Sioux Falls

Still control their own fate (one loss):
ESU
Azusa Pacific
UMD

Even though Southern had their best day of the year running the ball last week, I think Connor Harris and Company will keep them from running wild two weeks in a row.
