I'm going to divide this into "elimination games" and "good games"
Elimination games:
Assumption vs #24 Bentley: Bentley is out with a loss and Assumption is good enough to hand them one.
Tiffin vs Findlay: Both teams have been playing what is effectively playoff football for a few weeks now, and it comes to a head on Saturday. Winner is in, loser is out.
#13 Henderson State vs #16 Ouachita Baptist: This one takes on additional significance after OBU's loss last week. HSU is "win and in" while OBU needs a win just to have a chance.
Good games:
Saginaw Valley vs Michigan Tech: Neither team seems to be in the playoff hunt barring an exceptional amount of chaos, but they're playing for 3rd in the GLIAC. Should be a snow game too!
#12 Slippery Rock vs #14 Kutztown: One of three ranked-on-ranked games this week, for a conference title no less!
#2 Valdosta vs #4 West Florida: Really don't think I need to explain this one, but: UWF is looking for a share of their first(!) conference title at home, and VSU wants it outright. Depending on who wins here, we're looking at a rematch in the second round or the quarterfinals.

CIAA Championship game features Bowie State (#2 in SR2) v. Fayetteville State (#10 in SR2) - Bowie should be able to easily handle Fayetteville State, but if Fayetteville State finds a way to win that will make things really interesting for playoff selections.

Odd thing about this game is that the NE10 as a nine team league that only plays 1 OOC game needs to fill out their schedule by playing a random league opponent twice in a season. Bentley played at Assumption in week 2 and won 40-28. Will the Greyhounds get their revenge by knocking the Falcons out of the PO picture ?
