The final four in the Florida DIAA college competition is set after this weekend's first round of playoffs.
Six teams were in action this week, playing quarterfinals while 1st-place team Florida State had a bye.
Florida won convincingly over North Florida 62-7.
With Florida DIAA College Conference leaders South Florida getting a bye this weekend, USF could sit back and watch the rest of the league go at each other.
Which is exactly what they did.
Two of the games were one-pointers, with Florida edging past Florida Atlantic 18-17 and Florida International coming back to defeat Florida State 34-33.
It was a somewhat quiet weekend in DIAA, but these players made some noise.
Maaveave Petaia, University of WashingtonFormer center and now flanker Petaia scored two tries in a huge win over Oregon State.
Central Florida eked out a tight win over Florida International to get the Knights' first victory of the Florida DIAA league season.
Meanwhile, South Florida, Florida State, and Florida Atlantic all improved to 2-0, as they, along with 1-1 North Florida and Central Florida, look to be the stronger teams in the competition.
For some reason, University of Central Florida seems to start slowly these last few years, but in the end, the Golden Knights always make a move late.
