Titans Ranked In New Poll

Titans Ranked In New Poll

The UW-Oshkosh football team is ranked 18th in the 2020 College Football America Yearbook Division III preseason Top 30.  The Titans had one selection, center Mike Olsen, named to the CFA Yearbook's Division III Starting Lineup (the equivalent to a preseason All-America team).

Olsen steered the UW-Oshkosh (8-3, 6-1 WIAC) offensive line that led the WIAC with 14 sacks allowed and 4.7 yards per rushing attempt. Olsen and the Titan offensive line paved the way for UW-Oshkosh to rank second in the conference with 2,027 rushing yards and 184.3 yards on the ground per game. 

Olsen and the Titan offense averaged 26.5 points and 350 yards per contest while playing a pivotal role in UW-Oshkosh's WIAC-leading 5.27 penalties committed and 43.91 penalty yards per game.

The Titans clinched a share of its 11th conference title in 2019 and secured the league's automatic berth into the NCAA Division III Championship by defeating UW-Whitewater in the regular season finale in Oshkosh. The Titans' fifth NCAA postseason appearance in the past eight seasons ended with a 38-37 overtime loss at Central College (Iowa) during the first round.

UW-Whitewater, which reached the Stagg Bowl last season before losing to North Central, is No. 1 on the list. The Warhawks have two selections to the Starting Lineup.  Another traditional power, Mount Union, is No. 2. Defending Stagg Bowl champion North Central is No. 3. Two-time national champion Mary Hardin-Baylor and Wheaton complete the Top 5.  No. 6 Muhlenberg, No. 7 Saint John's, No. 8 Salisbury, No. 9 John Carroll and No. 10 Delaware Valley round out the Top 10.
