The NCAA Division III football season begins in August, and there are already storylines and matchups that we can’t wait to see develop.

Wisconsin-River Falls shocked college football fans with their breakthrough season in 2025, but the Falcons will go into 2026 without longtime head coach Matt Walker, who left for Drake University.

FloCollege still has the Falcons ranked No. 3 in their Way-Too-Early Preseason Rankings, a sign that they still have the talent to become back-to-back champions.
