Hobart is making its third consecutive and eighth overall NCAA Playoff appearance. The Statesmen are 6-7 all-time in NCAA play, reaching the quarterfinal round for the first time in 2012.
 
Gallaudet went 9-1 and won the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference's automatic bid. The Bison (6-1 in conference) tied Norwich atop the ECFC standings, but earned the program's first NCAA playoff appearance by virtue of a 30-22 victory over the Cadets on Oct. 12.
