It probably won't happen but based on the playoff run that Wheaton College (Illinois) had in 2008, it's hard to keep them out this year.  They were 7-2 last year and got to the final four.  Their two losses this year were to two ranked teams (Illinois Wesleyan and North Central College).  Too bad the committee won't consider three teams from the same conference.  The CCIW is very competitve and the top teams knock each other out.  Even Carthage and Augustana could compete with several teams that are automatic qualifiers.
