Part of Thanksgiving tradition for us is watching football, eating plenty of turkey and stuffing, and of course sampling numerous pies. Before the NFL games kick off, let's break down our latest D3 Eastern Football Rankings. There has been a minor shakeup since the results of the first round of the NCAA playoffs, and the ECAC bowl games:
- Delaware Valley 11-0
- Salisbury State 10-1
- Kean 10-1
- St. John Fisher 9-2
- Widener 9-2
- Lycoming 8-2
- Cortland 9-2
- Hobart 7-2
- Montclair 8-2
- Lebanon Valley 8-3
Delaware Valley and Salisbury State both held serve against weak first round playoff tests. Kean was the most impressive first round performer, beating up on Christopher Newport 34-10. We considered moving Kean up to #2, but decided to stick with Salisbury for now.
St. John Fisher made a big statement by shutting down previously unbeaten Johns Hopkins on the road. Widener and Cortland won comfortably in ECAC bowl games. Hobart moves up a spot by very nearly upsetting Wesley on the road. And Lebanon Valley rounds out the top 10 after a bowl win over St. Vincent.
The top four east teams battle it out this week in the second round of the playoffs. #4 St. John Fisher travels to #1 Delaware Valley, while #3 Kean visits #2 Salisbury. These are great match ups between the top teams from the Empire 8, MAC, and NJAC.

Join us tomorrow for our playoff preview. In the meantime, eat some turkey and enjoy good times with your family. Try to find the time to mix in a little football too.
