The 2019 season is coming to a close and the Hobart College Statesmen are looking to finish it with their best record since 2016. While the Statesmen will likely be ranked in today's East Region Playoff Rankings (at 8th), Hobart is hoping that:
1) Ithaca will play in an ECAC bowl game (they've filed and have a good shot at a bid based on the team's listed);
2) Cortland misses the playoffs regardless of Cortaca at MetLife Stadium (highly likely based on the current Pool C landscape and how low the RAC has them rated based on their SOS and lack of RROs); so
3) Based on the above, the Statesmen go to Cortland to play in a post-season New York State Bowl game on 11/23
Rochester (0-9, 0-5) poses little to no threat to affect the above, as the Yellow Jackets are still in rebuilding mode. Rochester has also lost their last two games by a 110-19 margin, and so I expect Hobart to drop and win by at least 35-45 points Saturday.
That's it. That's where we stand with a few days left before the final weekend of the 2019 season. I will be covering the Bowl bids and NCAAs with Frank on In the D3FB Huddle starting today through the weekend. We will interview the NCAA Committee Chair for like the 11th year in row Sunday night and have the ECAC and other bowl bids announced by Monday mid-day.
Hopefully by this time Monday we'll know that the Statesmen will have one more week of football left.
Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
