When the postseason rolls around, eventually it seems it always comes down to the same two teams. But in the preseason, that's not true at all, and our Kickoff 2012 coverage represents that. We have nearly 40 feature stories, and they run the gamut. Yes, we talk about UW-Whitewater and we talk about Mount Union, but we also talk about a bunch of other schools and conferences.

We have mentioned a bunch of features in the past week that we have in Kickoff. But we also have pieces on Hobart, Delaware Valley, Widener, Dubuque, Waynesburg, Hampden-Sydney, RPI, Birmingham-Southern, St. John Fisher, Bluffton, LaGrange, UW-Stevens Point, Texas Lutheran, Puget Sound ... and more. Literally, still more on the list.

Kickoff 2012 has those features and much more. You'll also get all of our  season previews, exclusive rankings and content you won't find anywhere else in D-III.

Kickoff is an online-only publication, which will be released the afternoon of Aug. 21 in preparation for the first games the weekend of Sept. 1. It covers all 239 Division III football teams, including features listed below.
