No. 4 Colorado School of  Mines was stunned by inter-state rival Colorado Mesa 14-13 in Week 6 on Oct. 5.

With Week 0 right around the corner, the wonderfully weird and chaotic D2 football season is barrelin' down the track. As always—no matter the conference or region—things tend to go off the rails pretty quickly.

Can you feel it in the air? College football is upon us!

FloCollege is proud to unveil our debut Division 2 Football Top 25 Rankings. Each week of the 2025–26 season, we’ll be serving up a fresh batch of 25 elite D2 football teams as they scratch and claw their way through the gridiron gauntlet.

First, let's set a foundation.

The 2025 NCAA D2 Football season is set to kick off on Thursday, Aug. 28 as the top teams, including No. 1 Ferris State Football will take the field during Week 1. Looking to defend their title, the Bulldogs are the top team going into the 2025 season,  receiving 30 first-place votes.

The wait is almost over, and the 2025 college football season is nearly here. To make sure fans are primed for an exciting year, preseason coaches polls are being published every week for conferences across the nation.

In less than two months, college football will return to our screens once again.

If it’s truly not about how you start, but how you finish, the Wayne State football team definitely had some things to be proud of during the 2024 season.

While it has been eight months since the 2024 season ended for the Wayne State football team, if the Warriors somehow can harness the feelings and momentum of their final two games, that could mean big things for the new campaign.

Simply put, the Saginaw Valley State football team failed to finish games in 2024.

This 2024 season in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference went pretty much like most would’ve expected.

The Roosevelt Lakers had to expect a learning curve when jumping from the NAIA level to NCAA Division II, while also landing in one of the toughest football conferences in the nation.

The Northern Michigan Wildcats haven’t won a football game since 2022, and the sting of two consecutive winless seasons has to be weighing on them.

Before the Roosevelt Football team ever played a game in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, preseason expectations were for the Lakers to fail in their debut and finish last in the conference.
