Willamette Set to Play Occidental in NCAA Football Playoffs
Bearcats Enter Postseason with 10-0 Record
November 16, 2008 12:12 PM

SALEM, ORE. -- Willamette University will open the NCAA Division III Football Playoffs by taking on Occidental College on Saturday, Nov. 22. Willamette is 10-0 on the season, while Occidental is 9-0 overall.

The winner of the Willamette-Occidental game will play the winner of the first round game between defending national champion the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and St. John's University (Minn.). The round of 16 game will be played on Saturday, Nov. 29.

My two cents: The Bearcats don't make it past the second round.

Spoken like a true Linfield homer!

What do you base your prediction on, RedandPurple?

[Bearcat Press]

That's a brutal first two rounds for the Bearcats.  The #2 seed and probably the defending national champs if we make it.  Wow.  Damn.

[D O.C.]

Truth.

It would be nice to play Aurora or Monmouth some day.

Got that home advantage though.

[Wildcat'64]

Good to get two tough games out of the way and get sharp for Mt. Union in the final.

Go Bear Cats....do the NWC proud!

[Sabretooth Tiger]

I think Oxy will have home field advantage week 2.

No problem, Go NWC.....

Brutal - indeed! Definitely the toughest bracket of all the #1's.

One game at a time - like the Bearcats have been playing all season - for 5 more games!

Whitewater might be a struggle,  but I think they could take SJU, if they get past Oxy, which they probably will.

Well said by Speckman in the D3football.com podcast:  "Half the bracket is seeded, half isn't.  Half is about money, half isn't."

I wouldn't look past SJU at all.

Here's one person not looking past Occidental.
