Gridiron Classic (2006–2009)

The Gridiron Classic was the name of an annual post-season college football game played from 2006 through 2009. It featured the league champions from the Pioneer Football League (PFL) and Northeast Conference (NEC).[1] These conferences had not previously received bids to the Division I FCS football playoffs (formerly the Division I-AA) tournament.

The game matched up the champions, unless one of the teams received an at-large playoff bid.[2]

The game on December 6, 2008 was televised on the YES Network from University Field in Albany, New York.
