BALDWIN CITY, Kansas – The Baker University football team stayed at number two in this week’s NAIA Football Coaches’ Top 25 poll, announced on Tuesday. The Wildcats have been ranked number two in each poll this season.


Number one St. Francis (Ind.) continues to hang onto the top spot and received 340 total points in the poll, while Baker received 327.

Baker is 6-0 on the season for the third time in four years and has won 23-straight games against a Heart of America Athletic Conference opponent.

Four of Baker’s six wins have come against ranked opponents, including a 31-27 win over number 23 William Penn, a 48-41 win at number nine Grand View, a 44-37 win at number 14 Benedictine and its 65-42 win over number 23 Peru State last Saturday.
