Although there are still a couple of games left to be played, the regular season has been all but wrapped up in the lower division ranks.
The conference championship matchups are set with Tuskegee and Benedict battling it out for the SIAC crown while Fayetteville State and Chowan go at it in the CIAA.
There is also the looming Division II playoffs where conference champions and non-conference competitors wait to determine their fate.
