We've seen some bracket changes and what seems to be some teams some teams a bit out of place, but we do have some women's collegiate playoffs going on.
CRAA / ACRA Women D2 Playoff Bracket FInalized
NIRA
It's a straight set of semifinals. Army takes on Harvard in a rematch of a regular-season game that Army won by a hair's breadth. Hosting the game this time, Harvard will certainly want some payback and has the capability, and they learned a harsh lesson about closing out a close game. Dartmouth does indeed seem to be the favorite this year, but they cannot be complacent against a tough Quinnipiac side.
AIC plays Queens in a rematch of the 2021 DII semi where AIC upset the Royals and went on to upset West Chester to win it all. Since their close loss to Davenport in Buffalo AIC has been on an impressive run ... of course so has Queens, capping their season off with a 19-12 over Navy. It's a tossup. In the other DII semi Davenport plays West Chester. In October Davenport beat AIC 22-19, and later on AIC beat West Chester by 49—so yes Davenport, 6-0 and an average scoreline of 62-10, is favored.
In DIII Bowdoin remains the favorite despite a recent loss to non-NIRA team Vassar (an annual matchup that benefits both teams). They also beat New England, which beat Norwich handily two weeks ago and will face them again this week.
