We have a good number of Thursday night games to choose from and there's one in the Cleveland suburbs to start from, with Defiance at Baldwin Wallace. Now, there aren't a lot of Friday night games in that part of the country to choose from, unfortunately, so we're going to have to have you hop in your car and drive all the way across Pennsylvania to see Muhlenberg at Wilkes on Friday night. The good news, is you have all of Friday to do it. But you have to (wait, this is road tripping, so you get to) get back in your car and drive back to Ohio and see a couple of teams we may not have previously suggested for a road trip: Sewanee at Kenyon. And finally, why not, let's go back across the border into Pennsylvania and see a couple of coaching debuts Thiel at Allegheny. That's a Mount Union grad vs. a Wabash grad. Think of it as Kehres vs. Raeburn lite.

• Full Week 1 schedule

A different option for Saturday, both of which are doable, would be to see Chicago at Case Western Reserve in the afternoon and follow it with Capital at Wittenberg that night. We chose Thiel-Allegheny because, even though the teams are fairly down the pecking order in Division III, they're more evenly matched than Capital and Wittenberg are. But enjoy the long drive!

Total: Four games, 877 miles start to finish.

Next: Week 1, South
