#3 Wisconsin-Oshkosh drowned Lakeland 63-0, putting the game away with touchdowns on their first five possessions:
Titans Kickoff NCAA Postseason With Shutout Victory
Playing in both rain and snow, North Central used “sophomore running back Dominick Muoghalu, who rushed for 180 yards and a touchdown on a school record-tying 40 carries” to prevail over St. john’s of Minnesota, 17-7:

The school with the glamorous sounding name Wartburg, won a 35-28 shoot-out over Franklin in a game that came down to a jump ball between a 6-4 receiver and a 5-9 defender:
College football: No. 15 Wartburg holds off Franklin in overtime thriller, 35-34
Trine overwhelmed Monmouth of Illinois in the second half, 35-0 to win 63-24 in a game that must have resembled Wake Forest’s game against us:

The division’s perennial superpower, Mount Union shut down and shut out Washington & Lee, who came in with the nation’s #1 ground attack at 421 yards a game, in a game played in a “steady downpour”:
Football: #2 Mount Union Soaks Washington & Lee in NCAA Playoff Opener
(I was kind of hoping Washington & Lee would wind up playing Washington & Jefferson so we could see which side Washington was really on.)
“Case Western Reserve University senior running back Aaron Aguilar battled both blizzard-like conditions and one of the top rushing defenses in the country, running for a career-high 136 yards and three touchdowns to lead the 16th-ranked Spartans to a 28-0 win over 11th-ranked Illinois Wesleyan University on Saturday afternoon in Bloomington, Illinois”:

“Freshman kicker Mauricio Garibay's (Hickory Hills, Ill./Saint Lawrence) 46-yard field goal bounced off the crossbar and through the uprights with under a minute remaining as Washington & Jefferson kept its season going with a 31-28 win over Johns Hopkins”:

Once upon a time Wittenberg was the great Division 3 team from Ohio, (all-time record 757-381-59, .665) while Frostburg State was just another team, (266-280-8, .487). But in 2017, Frostburg, (another glamorous name: can they play Wartburg for the title?) easily handled the toothless Tigers, 35-7:

Defending national champion Mary Hardin-Baylor blew past Chapman 50-6. The Panthers were held to 6 yards rushing:
UMHB tops Chapman 50-6 in NCAA First Round Game
Linfield moved to a 24-0 lead and held on for a 27-13 win over Hardin-Simmons.
Linfield drops HSU 27-13, earns rematch with UMHB
This earns them another game against Mary Hardin-Baylor, (by the way the “Hardin” in Hardin-Simmons and in Mary Hardin-Baylor is the same person). Linfield lost to MHB earlier this year 3-24 but they have quite a history against them, having beaten them in the national championship game in 2004, 28-21. They beat them again, 53-21 in the 2009 playoffs, 31-24 in the 2014 playoffs and 38-35 in the 2015 playoffs before losing last year to them 10-27.

Eureka didn’t say that when they lost to St. Thomas, 8-47:

Berry won their first ever post season game over Huntingdon 34-20 by grinding it out on the ground and throwing deep when they got around to it:

“Delaware Valley University used the big play all afternoon and scored on offense, defense and special teams as the fifth-ranked and undefeated Aggies blanked visiting Western New England University, 35-0”:
Delaware Valley 35, Western New England 0
(Amazingly, WNE actually gained more yards but didn’t get the big plays and had 3 turnovers).
Husson nipped Springfield 23-21, helped by the fact that “The pride” couldn’t complete a single pass:

Brockport State has become a new power in New York State Division 3 football, which used to be nationally significant but hasn’t really been heard from in recent years. The Golden Eagles looked ready for prime time in demolishing Plymouth State 66-0:
Golden Eagles Pummel The Panthers, 66-0
Wesley a power through much of this century but quiet recently may be on their way back. They just took care of RPI, 45-27:
