The Snow College football team opens the season ranked fifth in the NJCAA Division I Football Preseason Poll, the Association unveiled Monday.
 
This top-five ranking comes following the Badgers finishing ninth in the rankings after the 2023 season.  The Badgers enter the 2024 campaign following a 9-3 2023 season that saw them earn a bid into the Game One Bowl against No. 11 Iowa Central Community College. 
 
Snow College faced a total of six ranked opponents during the 2023 season.  The Badgers went 3-3 in those games while averaging 26 points per game in those contests.  Snow College lost just one home game during the 2023 season, a 20-13 defeat at the hands of the eventual National Champion Iowa Western Reivers.  The Badgers are 10-1 over the past two seasons inside the friendly confines of Terry Foote Stadium.
 
The Reivers stood atop the preseason rankings following a 12-1 season and securing a second consecutive National Championship.  Snow College and IWCC will square off with one another Oct. 5 inside Titan Stadium in Council Bluffs, Iowa.  The Badgers have lost four consecutive matches against the Reivers.
 
East Mississippi Community College, Hutchinson Community College, and Kilgore College round out the rest of the top five with Snow College slotted in the fifth spot. 
 
The Badgers will face five opponents among those ranked or receiving votes in the preseason poll.  Georgia Military College was slotted in the 12^th spot in the rankings while Butler Community College claimed the final spot in the top 15.  Lackawanna College and New Mexico Military Institute fell just outside the top 15 and were receiving votes.  
 
Of the five matchups with teams in the preseason poll, only the Badgers' game against GMC will occur at home.  In a stretch between Sept. 14 and Nov. 2, the Badgers will play six games, five of which will be against teams ranked in the preseason poll.
 
The Badgers are 8-8 against ranked opponents under Head Coach Zac Erekson and have gone 6-5 against ranked opponents over the last two seasons.  The Badgers have been ranked inside the top 15 each week since Erekson took over the program in 2020.
 
Snow College will kick off its 2024 season against the Utah Islanders inside Terry Foote Stadium Saturday at 7:00 p.m.  For video streaming and live stat information, visit snowbadgers.com.
