Rank: #8 All-Time 4-7 Titles: NAIA DII 1971 Comment: One have of the Mount Union-Whitewater stranglehold on this title has needed. They’ve met for the last seven national championships and at leas tone spot in the final will be earned by someone else, for which I’m grateful. One of the reason I’ve always enjoyed watching the small college championships is to see schools that just had been names in the Sunday paper come alive for me. We used to get different schools each year, much of the time, anyway. Mount Union had dominated the division from 1993-2004, winning seven titles in that time and having winning streaks of 54 and 55 fames, the two longest in NCAA history. Wisconsin-Whitewater patterned their program after that of Larry Kehres, the Mount Union coach, who has an absurd career record of 327-24-3, (he’s a ringer for Tom Osborne and Tom can only wish he won this much), even to the pint of having similar school colors and uniforms. It looked like Mount Union was playing itself. Whitewater finally got to the finals in 2005 and have made it every year through last year. They lost three of the first four confrontations with Mount Union but came back to even dominate the Purple Raiders by winning the last thee titles and 45 straight games. All of that was awesome but it reached the point of being boring. It ended for Whitewater this year with three losses, (Buffalo State did the honors, breaking their winning streak with a 7-6 win at Whitewater), and no invitation to the tournament. But Mount Union is very much in the tournament with one of their greatest and most dominant teams, which is saying something. They gave up a score in their first game to Franklin, (who is in this tournament), winning 45-7. They then shut out their next six opponents by a total of 342-0. The closest of those games was the last one, which they won 51-0. Heidelberg, (also in the tournament) managed two scores on them in a 33-14 game, the closest anyone got all year. They then won their final two games by 38-7 and 59-17. It would be a huge upset if they didn’t win this but they’ve been upset in the playoffs before after a dominant regular season. The Pac Lutheran-Linfield match-up is a battle of old rivals, (who already had a close game this year), with almost identical resumes. Wittenberg was the closest thing to Mount Union before Mount Union. They were the winningest school in college football in both the 1960’s and 1970’s and won two of the first three DIII titles. But that was a long time ago. Widener also won a couple of titles many years ago and Cal Lutheran won an NAIA DII titles 40 year as ago. Wisconsin-Oshkosh has no history in their tournament but they won the conference Whitewater is in, so they deserve some respect. Hopefully we get somebody who can, at least, compete with Mount Union. I also hope we don’t just go back to Mount Union-Whitewater next year. [/QUOTE]
