Eagles ranked No. 12 in the nation
AU football team slotted at No. 12 in Division II AFCA coaches poll
September 12, 2022
After a 2-0 start the Eagles have shot up the AFCA NCAA Division II coaches poll.
The Eagles took down the Notre Dame College Falcons in Week One 31-14, and then the following week blew out a GMAC rival in the Findlay Oilers by a score of 28-3.
Before the season began they were unranked but received votes to be included in the top 25. After Week One they moved up to No. 20 in the coaches poll. Now, after an impressive Week Two performance against the Oilers the Eagles have jumped eight spots to the No. 12 spot.
This is their best ranking since 2017 when they were ranked No. 10.
They look to head back onto the field on Sept. 24th as they take on the Quincy University Hawks on the road at 2 pm local time.
