The Hobart College Statesmen have fallen from the 16th ranked team on D3football.com to "Receiving Votes" in the Week 3 Top 25 poll. Two weeks of offensive struggles and other teams leapfrogging the Statesmen led to this change. Hobart has been ranked in the D3football.com polls for several years now and is likely to return should they go on and win the Liberty League and make another playoff push.
The Statesmen are one of only about eight (of the 247) D3 programs that has been to playoffs every year for the past four seasons (even defending National Champions University of Wisconsin-Whitewater can't make that claim).
This topic (and the related Ithaca-Hobart game) was covered by D3football.com on the "Around the Nation" podcast (which came directly as a clip from our 9/20 ITH show).
A link to both podcasts are listed below:

Later this week I'll preview / expand upon the Liberty League opener for Hobart (2-1) against the United States Merchant Marine Academy (1-1).
Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
