Mount makes top 50 programs

ALLIANCE — To celebrate the 150th season of college football, ESPN produced a list of the 50 best college football programs and Mount Union is the highest non-Division I program at No. 16.

ESPN came up with a metric with a goal in its words to “Honor the accomplishments of teams across 150 seasons and all divisions, while rewarding successful programs at the highest level in the sport’s most competitive era.”

Mount Union is ranked just between No. 15 LSU and No. 17 Miami (Fla.). Alabama is ranked No. 1 with Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma and USC rounding out the top five.

ESPN said this about the Purple Raiders …

“It’s hard to argue with this level of success, even at Division III. The coach with the highest winning percentage in the history of the game, Larry Kehres, coached at Mount Union. “
