Tiffin University's football team is ranked 14th in the latest AFCA Division II national poll.

The move jumps the Dragons three spots from last week. Tiffin is the only G-MAC school ranked nationally and has been steadily climbing the polls after their 10-0 start. The Dragons most recently beat Ohio Dominican 44-10 to improve to 8-0 in the conference. They earned a share of the G-MAC Championship and will look to win it outright with a win in their season finale at Findlay Nov. 11.

The Dragons also continue to factor high in the national statistical rankings. They rank in the Top 10 in 10 different categories. They are first in the nation in turnover margin and turnovers gained while ranking 3rd in defensive touchdowns and defensive team passing efficiency.  

The team is also 4th in total offense, offensive first downs, and pass yards allowed. They are 5th in rushing offense, 6th in scoring offense, and 9th in scoring defense.   

Individually Ronald Blackman is 7th in the nation in rushing yards per carry, while Tyrese Banks-Dorn is 14th in scoring. Devin Nelson is also 14th in rushing yards per carry. Josh Lewis is 11th in kick returns.
