WP:NSEASONS. This is a season article about a low-level, Division III college football team. The top 32 teams in Division III were invited to participate in the 2013 Division III playoffs; Rhodes was not ranked among the top 32 teams and did not participate in the playoffs, making this a run-of-the mill Division III season. The only source in the article is a url link to the school's own schedule table which is neither SIGCOV, nor is it an independent source. Cbl62 (talk) 03:31, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

- Note: I realize that there is game coverage (e.g., here, here, and here) in The Commercial Appeal (the hometown newspaper for Rhodes), but we need to put things in perspective. Do we really think that a team that didn't even get ranked in the top 32 of Division III warrants stand-alone season articles? And WP:GNG asks for SIGCOV in multiple source. I have not found SIGCOV from any paper other than The Commercial Appeal. Cbl62 (talk) 04:12, 21 February 2022 (UTC)]
