KUTZTOWN, Pa. – The Kutztown University football team is ranked second in Super Region One in Mondays' first edition of NCAA Regional Rankings. In addition, KU moved up four spots to No. 21 in Division II in the latest American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) national poll.
 
The Golden Bears (7-1, 5-0 PSAC East) lead the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division standings following their 32-15 win at Lock Haven last Saturday, Oct. 23. KU has made the NCAA Tournament four times in its history, including each of the last two seasons (2018, 2019).
 
Kutztown's next game is at 2:05 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 30, at home against Millersville University. KU holds a 10-game winning streak against the Marauders. With a win, KU would clinch a spot in the PSAC Championship game at home Saturday, Nov. 13, and at least a share of the PSAC East regular season title.
 
NCAA Regional rankings will be released Oct. 25, Nov. 1, Nov. 8, with the NCAA Selection Show scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 14.
 
The Division II Football Championship provides for a maximum field of 28 teams. Seven teams will be selected from each of the four regions – the top seed in each region will receive a bye in the first round of the playoffs.
 
No conference will receive automatic qualification for the 2021 NCAA Division II Football Championship. Earned access to the playoffs can be gained by a conference if a conference's highest-ranked team is in the top nine of the final super region rankings on Selection Sunday.
