Seven weeks of the New England D-III Football season is officially in the books – can you believe it?
This week, we saw some movement on our weekly Top 20 Poll, beginning with Middlebury College switching places with Western Connecticut for the fourth spot. The Panthers scored an exciting (and impressive) win this past weekend against No. 17 Wesleyan University and are now three wins away from finishing their 2019 campaign without a single blemish.
Springfield College and Framingham State each moved-up, checking in sixth and seventh, respectively, while Bridgewater State made the biggest move following a 56-20 win over UMass Dartmouth. The Bears secured the ninth position, while the Corsairs checked-in tenth overall.
Nichols College and Wesleyan swapped places toward the bottom of our poll, while the University of New England returned to our Top 20 following an impressive conference win over Husson University.
