Augsburg's in the top 25!

For the first time since 1998, the Augsburg football team (4-0 for the first time since 1973!) has cracked the top 25 of the major Division III football national polls. In this week's D3Football.com Top 25 poll, Augsburg is the highest-ranked MIAC team at No. 22. Concordia-Moorhead is ranked No. 23, and both St. John's and Carleton (this Saturday's opponent for the Auggies in a battle of 4-0 teams in Northfield) are in the "Others Receiving Votes" category.

In
the other major Division III poll, from the American Football Coaches Association, Augsburg is ranked No. 23 and is the only MIAC team in the top 25. Concordia, Carleton, St. John's and Bethel are all in the "Others Receiving Votes" category.
