With the final week of the GLIAC football regular season here, there's still plenty on the line as conference teams prepare for one last Saturday of action. Championship implications, postseason bids and positioning and team and individual milestones are at stake.
Top-ranked Ferris State (10-0, 6-0 GLIAC) is not only chasing the GLIAC crown, the No. 1 seed in Super Region 3 and the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA Championship, the Bulldogs are chasing history.
When Ferris State takes to its home gridiron at Top Taggart Field versus Roosevelt (5-5, 1-5 GLIAC) Saturday (1 p.m.), the Bulldogs will be looking to etch its name in the NCAA record book by winning its 41st-consecutive game.
No. 12 Michigan Tech (8-2, 5-1 GLIAC) will aim to solidify its playoff position when it faces Wayne State (0-11, 0-6 GLIAC) at 12 p.m. at Kearly Stadium in Houghton.
The Huskies enter Saturday ranked fourth in the NPI in Super Region 3. They have not made an NCAA postseason appearance since 2014. Should Ferris State falter Saturday and MTU win, the Huskies could claim a share of the GLIAC regular season title.
No. 18 Davenport (8-2, 4-2 GLIAC) and No. 23 Grand Valley State (7-3, 3-3 GLIAC) meet at Pappas Stadium in Caledonia in what could amount to be a playoff elimination game. The Crosstown Showdown is set for a 12 p.m. kickoff.
A win by the Panthers, who are ranked No. 7 in the NPI, would likely secure a berth to the NCAA postseason. DU last appeared in the Division II playoffs in 2022.
Davenport running back Cephus Harris is also pursuing history, needing 185 rushing yards to reach the 2,000-yard mark for the season.
The Lakers are ranked 11th in the NPI in Super Region 3. Eight teams qualify for the NCAA Championship from each region.
Saginaw Valley State (5-5, 3-3 GLIAC) travels to Northern Michigan (2-8, 2-4 GLIAC) for each team's regular season finale. Game time for the Cardinals-Wildcats clash at the Superior Dome in Marquette is 1 p.m.
The 2026 NCAA Division II football selection show airs on Sunday, November 15, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. ET (3:00 p.m. PT) and will stream live on NCAA.com.

Wildcats running back Noah Dobert is over the 1,000-yard rushing yard benchmark again this season, ranking 8th nationally with 1,045. NMU has won two-straight games.
Saginaw Valley State (4-5, 2-3 GLIAC) and Roosevelt (5-4, 1-4 GLIAC) will collide at 2 p.m. ET Saturday in Arlington Heights at the home of the Lakers, Morris Field.
