Taylor Receives Votes in Penultimate Top-25 Poll of Regular Season
UPLAND, Ind. – As it has for much of the 2025 campaign, the Taylor football team garnered votes in the NAIA Top-25 Poll announced on Monday.
The Trojans saw a slight bump in the poll on the heels of their 42-28 win over Siena Heights, climbing to 28 points for the 31st-highest tally in the nation. Those numbers reflected an increase of 18 points and two positions from TU's prior standing.
Taylor continues to rate near the top of the NAIA in several categories, entering the regular season's final week at No. 2 with 296.5 rushing yards per game, No. 4 with a red-zone touchdown percentage of 82.0, No. 6 with a third-down conversion percentage of 48.0, No. 6 with 499.9 total yards per game, No. 7 with 45.7 points per game and No. 12 with 27 sacks registered.
The Trojans have played clean football throughout, losing just two fumbles in 537 rushing attempts and ranking No. 6 in the NAIA with only 4.5 penalties per outing.
Along the way, Taylor has racked up at least 440 total yards of offense in nine-straight games, scoring at least 35 points in all 10 contests this season. TU has rushed for over 200 yards eight times and has passed for over 200 yards in each of its last three games.
RV Taylor (6-4, 3-1 MSFA) will look to close its regular season on a good note when it plays at Madonna (1-9, 0-4 MSFA) on November 15 at 1:00 pm.
Having already secured back-to-back winning records for the first time since 2009 and 2010, Taylor could notch its second-highest two-year win total in program history with a win at Madonna. TU has 15 victories in 2024 and 2025, tying for the second-best two-year mark and trailing only the 18 wins secured in 1998 and 1999.
