Qualifying teams

The Division III Championships Committee selected 59 schools to participate in the 2007 tournament. Thirty-seven teams earned automatic qualification by winning their respective conferences. Additionally, four independent (not affiliated with a conference with an automatic bid) teams and 18 other at-large teams from the remaining independent teams and automatic qualifying conferences — who did not receive their conference automatic qualification—were selected.
