Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 4099955, member: 289"] There's way, way too many blow-out games, far more than in D-1. here are the semi-finalist's seasons: [URL="https://www.d3football.com/teams/Mary_Hardin-Baylor/2021/index"]Mary Hardin-Baylor football schedule and results[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.d3football.com/teams/North_Central_(Ill.)/2021/index[/URL] [URL="https://www.d3football.com/teams/UW-Whitewater/2021/index"]UW-Whitewater football schedule and results[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.d3football.com/teams/Mount_Union/2021/index[/URL] Here are the playoff scores: [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_NCAA_Division_III_football_season#Bracket[/URL] Games involving New York State teams: Cortland State beat Springfield 26-21. RPI beat Endicott 20-14. then RPI beat Cortland 21-14. then they were road-kill to North Central, 6-55. Here are the all-time championship game results: [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_NCAA_Division_III_football_season#Bracket[/URL] let's break it down by century: From 1973 to 1999, 23 different schools played for the national championship in 27 years. Ithaca led with 7 appearances, then Augustana, Dayton and Rowan with 5. The Mount Union dynasty had begun by the end of that period but they still had just 4 appearances. Central Iowa had 3. Four schools had 2 appearances11 other schools had one appearance. the states represented were Ohio with 14 appearances from 4 different schools, new York with 10 from 3 schools, Pennsylvania with 8 from 5 schools, Iowa with 3, all from Central, 2 from two different schools in Maryland and one each from Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota and Oregon. From the year 2000 onward, 9 different schools made the final in 22 years. Mount Union made it 17 times and Wisconsin-Whitewater 10 times. Mary Hardin-Baylor has made it 5 times. the Johnnies and Tommies of Minnesota have made it twice each. North central of Illinois has made it twice. Bridgewater of Virginia made it one, as did Trinity of Texas, Linfield of Oregon and Wisconsin-Oshkosh. Nobody from New York, New England, New Jersey or Pennsylvania. That suggests an imbalance. It's not as much fun as it used to be. [/QUOTE]
