Kmic, Mount Union triumph in Division III football playoffs; three No. 1 seeds lose - Dec 02, 2008 | 9:55:39

There are eight teams remaining in the Division III football playoffs, although they aren't necessarily the eight squads you would have thought heading into the tournament. Three No. 1 seeds - North Central, Williamette and Millsaps - lost this weekend. The lone remaining No. 1 seed is national title favorite Mount Union, which advanced after an easy 42-7 victory over Hobart. Mount Union running back Nate Kmic became Division III's all-time leading rusher during the game, and now has 7,449 career yards. He has an outside shot at reaching the college football record, which is held by Chadron State's Danny Woodhead, who had 7,962 rushing yards in his career. On a side note, Millsaps' head coach is former Alabama coach Mike DuBose, who seems quite happy at the Division III level.

When coach's contracts are determined by academics rather than how many wins they get, I am all for this idea. Most coaches care and make academics a priority.
