It's win or go home time for the Corvallis and South Albany football teams.

Three of the Mid-Willamette Conference's four playoff berths are sown up with Crescent Valley, West Albany and Lebanon in.

The winner of tonight's CHS-SA game gets spot No. 4. If Lebanon beats Dallas, the Warriors are the third seed. If not, the winner of the CHS-SA game is third.

Oh, and the MWC title will be decided tonight as well as West Albany puts its four-year, 27-0 conference mark up against CV tonight. Both enter 6-0.

So it should be an exciting night at the Field of Dreams.

Other playoff berths and positioning are on the line as well.

Here's a closer look at the Benton County teams in action. All games start at 7 p.m.

West Albany (8-1, 6-0) at Crescent Valley (8-1, 6-0): Can the Raiders do what no MWC team has done in four years in conference play and knock off the Bulldogs? West Albany has lost to Corvallis once in that span, but that was the state title game so the Bulldogs are 27-0 in MWC games. In fact, the Bulldogs have lost just twice since reclassification in 2006. CV is in the playoffs for the first time since 1996 and have as many MWC wins this season (6) as it did the first three years combined.

Corvallis (3-6, 3-3) at South Albany (4-5, 3-3): As mentioned, the winner is in the playoffs and the loser's season is over. Corvallis won a hard-fought 16-11 game at home last year to finish second. SA was third with the loss. The stakes are much higher tonight.

Central (8-1, 3-0) at Philomath (3-6, 1-2): No. 2 Central routed No. 7 Sweet home last week, while the Warriors' playoff hopes took a major hit with a 19-7 loss at Newport. The Warriors need to upset the Panthers and hope Newport falls to winless Taft.

Santiam Christian (8-1, 5-0) at Regis (2-7, 2-3): The Eagles have wrapped up the top seed from the PacWest Conference, but a loss and a Toledo win over Waldport would mean the Eagles and Boomers tie for the conference title. SC faced Sheldon's junior varsity team last week and won 30-15. Don't expect the Eagles to overlook Regis, a team that handed them conference losses the past three years that left them in second place.

Monroe (6-2, 5-1) at Central Linn (6-2, 5-1): Both teams are tied with North Douglas for the Mountain View Conference lead heading into the finale. The Dragons' lone conference loss came to North Douglas, while Central Linn lost last week to Oakridge. Those four teams are in the playoffs, but seeding is still to be determined based on tonight's outcomes.

Alsea (6-3, 4-2) at Jewell (1-7, 1-5): The Wolverines are in the 1A playoffs with a win and a Falls City loss to Perrydale. Alsea senior Tyson Schreiber has rushed for 1,866 yards this season on 116 carries, just over 16 yards a carry. He has 29 total touchdowns. Jewell is coming off it's first win of the season, 50-8 over Portland Lutheran.
