RPI football moves up to No. 25

The RPI football team is finally ranked in the top 25 according to d3football.com.

I used the word finally, but that doesn't mean I think they should have been there before this point - it's more of the fact that they're still undefeated (5-0) and it's getting colder out (meaning the end of the season is getting near).

I've seen RPI play only once, but they looked good against WPI. They looked good this week against Susquehanna. They didn't play great against Utica and overall, I'm not sure how good they are, but we'll find out coming up.

10/25 @ St. Lawrence (I was at the Union/St. Lawrence game this week and the Saints, who are 0-6, looked like world beaters in the first quarter when they jumped out to a 14-0 lead; and this game is on the road)

11/1 vs. Union (The Dutchmen are down, but throw the records out the window during when the Dutchmen Shoes are up for grabs)

11/8 vs. Hobart (This team is dangerous and four points from being 5-0 themselves. This also will be the last game ever at '86 Field barring playoff home games)

Senior quarterback Jimmy Robertson earned Liberty League honors for the second time this season. After throwing for 354 yards and two touchdown, Robertson earned co-Offensive Player of the Week honors with Union's sophomore running back Chris Coney.

Robertson is on course to replace Dan Cole '04 in a number of spots in the RPI record books.

If my math is correct, Robertson needs 13 completions, 120 attempts, 598 yards, 19 touchdowns and 840 total yards after this weekend's results.
