ATN Podcast 393: A chat with the chair, 2025 style

D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast ·

2025/10/30

We have just three weeks left in the regular season, with Selection Sunday and the bracket announcement coming on Nov. 16. With the NCAA Division III football national committee no longer responsible for selecting teams to play in the playoffs, what does the committee chair do?It's a little more than just handing the trophy off to the team that wins the Stagg Bowl, like John Snell is doing in this photo, but sure, it's a little less than it used to be. Instead, the role is different, and includes

ATN Podcast 392: Consistency comes through

2025/10/27

We're getting ever closer to Selection Sunday, and closer to automatic bids being clinched. We've already discussed how few unbeaten teams there are this time of year compared to previous years, and of course, we had one more go down on Saturday when Wartburg defeated Central. Wartburg has been really consistent at the top of the American Rivers Conference, or near the top of it. Head coach Chris Winter isn't the only head coach who has been part of this run, but the Knights coaching staff has been

Montie Quinn should have been a household name to you already. He was a D3football.com All-America running back last season, rushing for 1,600 yards. He'd had two 200-yard rushing games already this season, he's now over 5,000 rushing yards for his career ... if you only found out about him on Saturday, or Sunday, that's a bummer. When he exploded for 522 yards in a win vs. Nichols on Saturday, you should have said, yeah, actually, I can see that happening. Quinn had an amazing Saturday, and

These are the things that make up Division III football this time of year. W's and L's as in wins and losses, X's and O's as in how plays and schemes are drawn up on paper, and 0's and 1's as in the data that is used to determine who will make the playoffs and how they'll be seeded, in the NCAA Power Index.We got the first look at the NCAA's version of the data in the NPI this week, and no surprise to anyone here that the data fully passed inspection and is exactly the same as what we've seen on

Ah yes, we not only go from the land of serious tailgating to also serious tailgating. From 20,000 fans to 6,500 fans in a rivalry game. These are two great tastes that tasted great together on Saturday, part of a smorgasbord of great Division III football, with so many games that we actually didn't even talk about Muhlenberg-Ursinus in this podcast. (But we will probably talk about Muhlenberg at some point.) Here's who you will be seeing -- or hearing about. We run down the UW-La Crosse win at

You've gotten the stop, pounced on a fumble, you're celebrating a key win to open up your conference slate. Only then do the officials huddle up, and without the benefit of replay, overturn the call originally made on the field and give the team which by all rights lost the game another chance.You'd be forgiven, perhaps, if it took you more than the customary 24 hours to get that emotion out of your system, to turn the page.

ATN Podcast 387: 3-0 after three weeks

2025/09/22

For some teams, a 3-0 start is precisely in the plan. For others, 3-0 is perhaps a pipe dream, or a first-time occurrence. In this week's edition of the podcast, we talk about a few of each as we wrap up Week 3 of the Division III football season. Johns Hopkins was given just about a 50% chance of starting the season 3-0, with some top-flight competition on the docket. But they got the job done, and we learned a little bit about the Blue Jays in the process. We'll tell you what we've seen and

It's sad to think that we are already phasing out of Great Non-Conference Game Season, but at least it is leaving us with some quality memories. Yes, Mary Hardin-Baylor and UW-Whitewater still get to grace us with their presence, and so do Springfield and UW-Platteville, and Johns Hopkins and Susquehanna, but ... well, OK, we'll hold on for one more week.

Whether it was a Red-Letter Day or a Red Dawn or Red Cardinals Fly at Night, Stagg Bowl LI was another example of the ongoing red shift in Division III football, as North Central won its third title in its five consecutive trips to the Stagg Bowl and ensured that the Walnut and Bronze would have a red tint to it for the third year in a row.
