D3football.com is an organization that reports and recognizes accomplishments of NCAA Division III football. Some of the main goals of the D3football.com are to highlight the lower divisions of the NCAA and promote those student athletes. D3football.com is also responsible for one of the two Top 25 polls for Division III football, along with the American Football Coaches Association. They also keep attendance records for NCAA Division III football as well, since the NCAA does not recognize attendance records for lower divisions.{{cite news |last1=Borzi |first1=Pat |title=So Many People Want to See the Tommies and the Johnnies |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/22/sports/ncaafootball/st-john-st-thomas-tommies-johnnies.html |access-date=19 December 2023 |publisher=The New York Times |date=September 22, 2017}}
