Nine weeks down, and the Division 2 landscape is a crowded highway of unbeaten juggernauts, one-loss powerhouses, and regional sleepers hoping to punch a golden ticket. 

Titans like Ferris State, Harding, Kutztown, and West Florida are only a couple of weeks from notching undefeated seasons. 

For the first time, every conference champion gets in, turning November into a sprint for 32 invitations with the added pressure of no byes. 

Here’s how the 2025 DII football playoff bracket would look if the postseason kicked off today, built from this week’s official Super Region rankings and current conference leaders. Rankings below are from the FloCollege Top 25
