Season 19. In 2008 -- 18 years ago -- this was a little Liberty League show. Now it's a national poll, a full preseason slate, and the two co-hosts still arguing about the WIAC in August.   Frank Rossi & James Baker are back to open the season — the first of four preseason shows before we go live from Montclair for the opener.   What's in it:   The annual question — North Central or River Falls back to Salem? The WIAC — no top dog, four teams in our Top 15. The portal — who's actually built to survive it. The Top 40 — and why we rank 40, not 25. Ranked vs Ranked — all 23 games in the first three weeks. Predictions — win totals, NESCAC bids, the PAC tiebreaker. The hard one — will a program go under this year? Mailbag — Centennial, under-the-radar, Keystone, roster size. Rule changes — Jim Corpora and Stuart Hindman on all of it.   Week 1 gives you #1 North Central vs #3 Bethel, one of the rarest regular-season matchups we've ever had. St. John's is bringing in 101 freshmen. And a free-kick field goal is now legal in college football.   Thank you for 18 years of this. Football's almost here.   Remember to also follow @D3FBHuddle on X

Frank & JB wrap up Season 18 and the 2025 D3FB season with a great show in which they look back once again at the Stagg Bowl and what has happened to the teams since, and they begin to look forward to the 2026 season. In that preview, they discuss challenging schedules and interview Rowan Head Coach Pat Ruley, who reveals his team’s Week 1 game against a national powerhouse. The guys run through all of the coaching changes announced over the last months, and they also look at the entire D3FB environment inside the national college football context with RedditCFB’s Bobak Ha’Eri. Finally, Frank and JB give some predictions for the 2026 season. Thank you for joining us all season long — we can’t wait to bring you our Season 19 content, coming sooner than you think!

In addition, the guys review some aspects of the 2025 season and discuss why they owe a debt of gratitude to the Canton Police Department. They also begin to look ahead at the 2026 season (Note: this episode was recorded before additional Transfer Portal activity occurred on Thursday).   Watch or listen to this show, and as always, let us know what you think!
