North Central established new single-season school records for points (496), rushing yards (3,175) and rushing touchdowns (36), topping the 50-point mark for the fifth time this season and rolling up more than 400 yards on the ground. 

Wabash (11-0), the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) champion, defeated Illinois College, 38-20, in its opening-round game. The Little Giants are among the Division III national leaders in rushing defense (61.0 ypg) and scoring defense (10.9 ppg), and lead the NCAC in rushing offense (169.5 ypg) and scoring offense (34.0 ppg).
