Week Eleven is here and it’s the conclusion of this 2025 regular season as the 75th Anniversary of the PSAC continues. It is also a crossover week meaning all of the teams from the PSAC West will be playing somewhere in the PSAC East which also means that the PSAC Championship Game will be in the east. Whether you believe in destiny or not, it looks like the prophecy of the PSAC scheduling team has been fulfilled. There will be no schedule changes needed this week since the two teams in the PSAC Championship Game were already scheduled to play. #3 Kutztown (10-0, 7-0 PSAC East) will be hosting #24 IUP (7-2, 5-1 PSAC West), who entered the D2 Top 25 for the first time this week, for all the marbles. Ironically, Kutztown has the number one scoring offense (43.1 PPG) and defense (9.2 PPG) in the PSAC and the top scoring differential (+33.9 PPG) and IUP has the number two ranked offense (36.9 PPG) and scoring defense (20.0 PPG) in the PSAC and the second-best scoring differential (+16.9 PPG). Looking for the keys to the game? Well, it all starts up front. I give the edge to the Kutztown in this category. That said, Kutztown will be seeing a passing attack from IUP that is better than they have played against so far this season. The biggest thing to be looking for in this championship game is the Crimson Hawk’s passing attack, with an eye on their ability to protect the passer, versus the Golden Bears stellar defense. Regardless, this should be an incredible game.

Super Region One Rankings (Heading into Week Eleven)
*Bentley – NE10 Champs
Reminder for the 2025 season, each conference champion in Super Region One will be included on the Super Region One Playoff Bracket. That said, although not ranked in the Top 10, Bentley will be in the Super Region One Playoffs as the NE10 champion after defeating Assumption. Also this year, with each conference champion making the playoff field, there will be eight teams playing in the Super Region One Playoffs, not seven like last year. This means all the teams will play in the first round and the number one seed will not have a bye week like last year.
PSAC Power Ranking (PPR) heading into Week Eleven:
A reminder on how my PSAC Power Ranking (PPR), what I base my predictions on, works: number one would beat everyone below them this week, two would beat numbers three on down, and so on. It changes week to week.
