Three weeks in and Division III has already thrown out the script. Mount Union is 1-2 and out of the Top 25 after Heidelberg beat the Purple Raiders 37-34. Defending champion UW-River Falls won 31-14 at Wartburg. Endicott went into Mary Hardin-Baylor and won 28-27. Week 4 brings the first ranked-vs-ranked game of the conference season and a CCIW road test for a top-five team. Rankings below are from the FloCollege D3 Top 25 released Sept. 22. All times Eastern.
Every game is live on the Week 4 predictions board. Twenty points a pick, free to play, closing at kickoff.
No. 14 Christopher Newport at No. 5 Susquehanna
Saturday, 12:00 PM · Amos Alonzo Stagg Field, Selinsgrove, PA · FloCollege
The only ranked-vs-ranked game in D3 this week. Susquehanna is 3-0 after a 49-23 win over Johns Hopkins, and survived an overtime trip to Union in Week 1. Christopher Newport is 2-0 and has the defense to make this ugly. Home field and a more proven offense tip it.
RallyFuel pick: Susquehanna 27, Christopher Newport 21. Make your call on this one →
No. 4 Wheaton (IL) at Illinois Wesleyan
Saturday, 2:00 PM · Tucci Stadium, Bloomington, IL
Wheaton beat Mount Union on a blocked extra point in Week 1 and then hung 82 on Millikin last week. Illinois Wesleyan is 3-0 and receiving votes, and Tucci Stadium is where CCIW contenders go to find out if they are real. The Titans’ best chance is keeping the Thunder offense on the sideline.
RallyFuel pick: Wheaton 34, Illinois Wesleyan 20. See the prediction card →
Muskingum at Heidelberg
Saturday, 1:30 PM · Hoernemann Stadium, Tiffin, OH · FloCollege
The team that knocked off Mount Union comes home. Heidelberg is 3-0 and receiving votes, and this is the classic hangover spot. A clean win keeps the Student Princes on track for a Top 25 debut.
RallyFuel pick: Heidelberg 31, Muskingum 14. Vote on this one →
Wittenberg at No. 2 John Carroll
Saturday, 1:00 PM · Don Shula Stadium at Wasmer Field, University Heights, OH
John Carroll climbed to No. 2 after a 3-0 start capped by a 56-7 win over Kenyon. Wittenberg is coming off a 31-24 loss to Washington U. With Mount Union down, the Blue Streaks are now the team the rest of the OAC-area power map runs through.
RallyFuel pick: John Carroll 38, Wittenberg 13. Get in on the pick →
Husson at No. 12 Endicott
Saturday, 12:00 PM · Hempstead Stadium, Beverly, MA
Endicott just won at Mary Hardin-Baylor, survived by a blocked extra point in the final minute, and jumped to No. 12. Now it is a home game against Husson with every eye in New England on the Gulls. Letdown risk is real, but the talent gap is bigger.
RallyFuel pick: Endicott 35, Husson 14. Cast your prediction →
Catholic at No. 11 Salisbury
Saturday, 1:00 PM · Sea Gull Stadium, Salisbury, MD
Salisbury is 2-0 and runs the ball like few teams in the country. Catholic will need to win time of possession to have a chance.
RallyFuel pick: Salisbury 38, Catholic 10. Make your call →
Upset Watch: Carthage at Carroll (WI)
Saturday, 7:00 PM · Schneider Stadium, Waukesha, WI
Carroll is 2-1 and receiving votes. A Saturday night CCIW game under the lights in Waukesha is exactly where a Carthage team with nothing to lose can steal one. We still lean Carroll, but not by much.
RallyFuel pick: Carroll 24, Carthage 21. Make your prediction →
