RPI Engineers football will face the Ithaca Bombers on Saturday with the Liberty League championship and an automatic bid to the NCAA Division III playoffs at stake.
The matchup, set for November 7, 2026, pits two conference contenders against each other in a winner-take-all scenario. RPI head coach Ralph Isernia leads the Engineers into the decisive contest after a season that included a victory over Hobart on September 26.
Both programs have a history of postseason appearances, and the outcome will determine which team extends its season into the national tournament.
