THE RFC MYC: UNC Pembroke (NCAA Division II Independent)
Overview: Entering their 13th season of play, the University of North Carolina-Pembroke (UNC Pembroke) Braves will look to build on back-to-back 2-8 seasons, as well as their third such season dating back to 2014. Additionally, the Braves will look to post their first winning season since 2016, when they advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs, where they lost to eventual national runner-up North Alabama to finish 10-2 overall.
However, the road to the program's fourth postseason appearance won't be easy, as UNCP must face defending South Atlantic Conference (SAC) champion Lenoir-Rhyne, as well as another D-II playoff participant in Wingate. The Braves will begin the 2019 season against CIAA foes Winston-Salem State and Virginia State.
UNCP will end its scheduling alliance with the SAC after this season and will join the Mountain East Conference (MEC) as an associate member for football for the 2020 season. The move will allow the Braves to play for a coveted conference championship in the coming years.

RFC Throwback Thursday-2019 DEBUT: Princeton vs. Harvard from 1919
(Video courtesy of princetoncampuslife)
"Throwback Thursday" returns to Real Football Central for the 2019 season, with a weekly look back at the history of college football outside of the current Power 5 conferences within the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) umbrella, as well as the small college divisions: NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and the NAIA. And what better way to kick-off college football's 150th anniversary season than by turning back the clock 100 years to 1919. That was when the Princeton University program celebrated its then 50th anniversary by playing against Harvard.

THE RFC MYC: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC)-(NCAA Division III)
Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC)-(NCAA Division III)
Overview: A tight race for the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) title in 2018 resulted in both Redlands and Claremont-Mudd-Scripps finishing 6-1 in conference play. But it was the Stags that snared the SCIAC crown with a 20-10 upset win over the Bulldogs on October 13 to earn the eventual automatic bid to the NCAA Division III playoffs. They fell to Whitworth in the first round to finish their season at 7-4 overall.
With only nine seniors having graduated from last year's squad, expect C-M-S to challenge for the SCIAC crown once again this fall. However, Redlands will also look to finish on top after finishing 8-2 overall but falling short of postseason play last fall. Don't count out Pomona-Pitzer (6-3 overall, 5-2 in the SCIAC) or Chapman (5-4, 4-3) either.
