Week Eleven is coming up in the PSAC and it is a big one. It’s the last week of the regular season including the PSAC Championship Game and a full Crossover Games schedule with all the teams from the PSAC East heading to the PSAC West to wrap up the 2026 regular season.
PSAC Week Eleven:
Three PSAC Teams are again in this week’s D2 Football Top 25 Poll. #6 Slippery Rock (10-0, 7-0 PSAC West - up one spot in this week’s D2 Top 25 Poll) and #14 East Stroudsburg (9-1, 6-0 PSAC East - up two spots in this week’s D2 Top 25 Poll) will meet in the PSAC Championship Game. #10 Kutztown (9-1, 5-1 PSAC East – same spot in this week’s D2 Top 25 Poll) is headed to Seton Hill. Some other games to keep an eye on in Week Eleven are Bloomsburg (7-3, 4-2 PSAC East) at California (PA) (7-3, 5-2 PSAC West), with potential Super Region One playoff implications, and Shepherd (7-3, 3-3 PSAC East) at IUP (6-3, 3-3 PSAC West), no love lost between those two teams.
PSAC Report Show (PSAC Championship and Week Eleven Preview Edition):
For a more in depth look at the PSAC Championship Game, how we got here, and a look at all of the Week Eleven Games, watch the replay to this week’s PSAC Report Show with Chuck Bitner, D2 Football National Columnist, and I. The link to our latest show is below.
Super Region One:
The fourth NCAA D2 NPI Rankings were released on Sunday morning. Three teams from the PSAC are ranked in the Top 10 nationally out of all four Super Regions, out of 160 total entries. Slippery Rock is currently sitting at number two, behind Ferris State at number one from the GLIAC. East Stroudsburg is sixth and Kutztown is at number ten.
In Super Region One, out of 43 entries, here is the Top 10: 1. Slippery Rock (PSAC), 2. East Stroudsburg (PSAC), 3. Kutztown (PSAC), 4. Virginia Union (CIAA), 5. Johnson C. Smith (CIAA), 6. California (PA) (PSAC), 7. Fayetteville State (CIAA), 8. Assumption (NE10), 9. Virginia State (CIAA), 10. Shepherd (PSAC). Reminder, the winner is each conference in Super Region One (CIAA, MEC, NE10, and PSAC) will make the playoff bracket of eight teams as an automatic qualifier. The remaining four teams who make the bracket will be at large bids. Here is the list of Super Region One Conference Champion outlooks coming up in Week Eleven:
CIAA Championship Game
#18 Virginia Union (9-1) vs. #22 Johnson C. Smith (8-2) in Durham, NC. Kris Ferguson has a preview of CIAA Championship Weekend.
MEC
West Liberty and Charleston are both 5-2 in the conference. West Liberty has a better overall record but Charleston has the head-to-head win in their pocket. West Liberty is at Wheeling in Week Eleven and Charleston is at West Virginia State. For deeper look at the situation in MEC, check out this column from earlier in the week.
NE10
Assumption heads into Week Eleven unbeaten in conference play at 6-0 and 7-2 overall. They are playing Pace who is 5-1 in the conference and 6-3 overall. An Assumption win seals the deal for them and a spot on the Super Region One playoff bracket. A Pace win means both teams would have a 6-1 conference record with Pach having the head-to-head win over Assumption. Chuck Bitner did a deeper dive on this matchup in the NE10 Championship Preview.
PSAC Championship Game
#14 East Stroudsburg (9-1, 6-0 PSAC East) at #6 Slippery Rock (10-0, 7-0 PSAC West)
For a ful preview the PSAC Championship, watch this special edition of the PSAC Report with myself and Chuck Bitner. We took an extensive look at both teams and the matchup. We also devoted some time at the end to an overview of the NE10 and MEC standings.
Here is my PSAC Power Ranking (PPR) heading into Week Eleven and the end of the 2026 regular season. Reminder, the way my PPR works is that #1 would beat every other team if they played them in a game this week. #2 would beat #3 on down and so on. Here is my PPR heading into Week Ten action:
