2024/12/16

Touchdown or no touchdown? Hold or no hold? Should the game have been over? So many questions, and not the ones we would prefer to be asking about a game in the Division III football national quarterfinals. And yes, there were many questions about the final moments of the Bethel-Susquehanna game, and whether they should have been the final moments, so to break it all down, we talk to someone who was there on the sidelines taking it all in. Frank Rossi will have opinions, which shouldn't surprise

2024/12/09

Yep, we all thought we knew exactly what to expect from the round of 16 of the Division III football playoffs.What did we get instead? Something way, way more interesting. That's the national champion being ousted. That's St. John's falling at home on the final play of the game. And that's a bracket with four quarterfinal games, three of which are being hosted by teams in Region 2 and none in Minnesota, Wisconsin or Ohio. (Shout out to Illinois as the fourth host!) Besides, Division III football

ATN Podcast 371: Measuring the fallout

D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast ·

2024/12/02

Now everyone in the playoffs has played at least one postseason game, or if you look at it another way, more than 60% of the playoff games are already over. And people are in a hurry to dismiss the WIAC, and they're in a hurry to crown NPI, because higher seeds have won 21 of the 24 games. (Of course, higher seeds have been at home in 23 out of 24 games, which might be a factor.)What did we learn from these games? Of the remaining high seeds, which ones improved their standing, improved their

When you're on the road on Thursday, Friday or Saturday, tune us in. We talk with North Central coach Brad Spencer about how his team adjusted to having a bye week at the beginning of the schedule, we hear from about a third of the coaches remaining in the bracket both about what they're thankful for this Thanksgiving season and how they're handling Thanksgiving with their players, and we have a special guest.Mike Gutelius, the head coach at Catholic U., was diagnosed just before the season with

2024/11/25

This slimmed-down version of the first round actually worked out pretty well. Five of the eight games went down to the final couple of minutes, and the three blowouts were against the No. 38, No. 39 and No. 40 seeds in the tournament. So now that that's out of the way, we can move on to the Round of 32. But first, we'll recap those eight games, you'll hear from some of the key playmakers on Saturday, including both winners of our game balls, just like it should be. Is John Carroll upset at having

ATN Podcast 368: Much ado about bracketing

2024/11/18

Why is Endicott playing in the first round? Why is Ursinus? Why does Centre get a bye? Why does Salisbury have to face a 6 or 7 seed in its first game instead of a 9 or 10? When the teams are already identified and all boiled down to a number value by a mathematical equation, the bracket is all we can talk about, and go figure, sometimes decisions are still being made by geography. Sometimes the NPI ranking of a team doesn't match up with what the general Division III fandom thinks, or what our

2024/11/11

A couple of key teams had a couple of close calls, and they were games that we were keeping a close eye on on Saturday. In Podcast 367, we're talking about Cortland pulling out its narrow win over Brockport to clinch the Empire 8 conference automatic bid, as well as Mount Union's similarly narrow win against Marietta to clinch the automatic bid from the Ohio Athletic Conference. What did we learn from these games? Did Cortland or Mount Union get moved down on Patrick or Greg's ballots? Did

2024/11/04

Most years, we dedicate some space on the website or some time in our podcast to really give newcomers to Division III football a bit of a primer as to how the playoffs are structured, how at-large bids are determined, the whole 10 yards. But this year, let's face it -- we're all newbies in some manner. Nobody has ever actually put together the Division III football bracket in this manner. So, forget what you learned last year, or any of the previous 10 or more years. All that is out the window

2024/10/28

This past week, a number of teams had their shot. They had the opponent they wanted to play on the field in front of them. They generally even had that game at home, in front of their home fans.But in Week 8 of the 2024 Division III football season, it didn't really break as these teams hoped. Not for Ursinus, not for Coe, not for Case Western Reserve, not for Washington U. Not even for St. Olaf, if you want to dig down that far. In the past, that would generally be it.

D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast ·

2024/10/21

No, we didn't get a four-way tie for first in the MAC after this weekend, but we still have plenty of chaos across Division III football after seven weeks. Part of this is because eight more playoff bids means more teams are in contention for the playoffs, but mostly, we're just talking about teams chasing conference automatic bids. So in the Presidents' Athletic Conference, that's five teams in contention. In the WIAC, it's really six. It's four in the MAC and at least three in the ODAC. We'll run

Hardin-Simmons came out of Saturday with another big, signature win, its second in as many weeks. The Cowboys keep exorcising those demons, this time coming up with their first win in Mary Hardin-Baylor's Crusader Stadium. What's it like to have beaten Mary Hardin-Baylor pretty impressively but also know that that's a good team on the other sideline that you have to play again this season?

We were waiting. Waiting for WIAC play to get started, with its great games seemingly every week. And waiting for UW-Platteville to face an opponent that our Top 25 voters could really measure them up against. Count that a success! Platteville went into La Crosse, Wisconsin, and not only came away with a win, but did so in dramatic, stunning fashion. And UW-Whitewater got back on the winning track in front of so many people you wonder how they could keep track. Patrick also took a tour of

With so many teams taking the week off, there was a big opportunity to step up and grab the spotlight, and boy did schools such as LaGrange and Bates do exactly that. Nothing like getting a double-digit game losing streak off your back.Plus, a game of the week that absolutely looked like one, as we break down Carnegie Mellon at Washington & Jefferson.

Well, welcome back to the Purple Power of the South! It had been a good 11 months or so since we last really had to consider the Cru, when they lost to Hardin-Simmons last Oct. 28, and this season was a mixed bag with UMHB's most telling game being a loss to a Top 10 NAIA team. Well, that's no longer the case as the Cru went to UW-Whitewater and came away with a lot of takeaways. Eight of them, in fact. Meanwhile, Salisbury's season just keeps getting better.

2024/09/16

Sometimes Week 2 of the Division III football season can be a bit of a letdown. We know -- teams generally improve the most between Week 1 and Week 2, says every football coach ever. But for the fans, Week 1 is a huge rush, and Week 2, well, some conferences are on bye and with fewer games, some years it just doesn't stack up. For the record: 2024 was not one of those years. Instead, how about a fantastic Week 2, with some course corrections on the field, and some more in the D3football.com Top 25

There's also some light-hearted work being done by Division III football coaches, as two of them in the NJAC have joined up to fight food insecurity and battle out the proper name of a popular breakfast meat.And one more thing: The Commonwealth Coast Conference has selected a new name.

Hey, we get it -- you don't like to think about math during the summer. If you're taking a class during the summer, it's probably not math-related, rather some elective. But unfortunately, the math is now going to be just as important in Division III football as it was in the BCS days in Division I.We know. That's not encouraging. And maybe we can't be encouraging about it, at least not the way it's currently set up, but we can sure as heck talk about it and try to explain about it. That's why
