Brockport, NY - The popular website, D3football.com, just announced its updated Top 25 Poll following the first week of action across the nation for Division III Football. The Brockport Golden Eagles are now officially in the receiving votes category after their dominant, 68-0, win over Buffalo State in week one.

SUNY Brockport opened the 2026 season in dominant, record-breaking fashion. Brockport defeated Buffalo State, 68-0, to claim a 10^th straight I-90 Bowl Rivalry Game win and set a program record for largest winning margin. The old record stood at 66 points, coming from a 66-0 win against Plymouth State back in 2017.

In front of a blackout crowd at Bob Boozer Field, the Golden Eagles were in control of the game from the opening kickoff. They scored 14 points in the first quarter, on the way to an astounding 42-0 lead going into halftime.
 
Overall, it was a near perfect performance from the Golden Eagles to start the season in all three phases of the game. The passing game was efficient at 13-for-14 with 161 yards and two touchdowns. The run game was unstoppable with 326 total rushing yards, six touchdowns, and a 6.7 yards per carry average for the game.
 
Defensively, Brockport pitched its third consecutive shutout against Buffalo State and has now kept this rival out of the end zone in five consecutive meetings. The Golden Eagles held the Bengals to just three first downs for the game and only 60 yards of total offense.

Looking to get into the Top 25 in next week's poll, the Golden Eagles hit the road this weekend for more non-conference action. This time they head to Geneva, NY to face the Hobart College Statesmen for a clash in week two. Kickoff is scheduled for 1pm on Saturday.
