Ferris State football extends winning streak to 31 games after defeating Pittsburg State

Ferris State continued its dominance in Division II football Thursday, defeating No. 4 Pittsburg State 42-14. The victory at the site of the Bulldogs' last defeat serves as the opening result of their 2026 campaign. With this win, the program extended its active winning streak to 31 games, building on a record-setting 2025 season where the team finished 16-0. Ferris State has secured four national championships in the last five years, prompting questions regarding the program's long-term competitive ceiling within Division II. While the university faces potential obstacles related to budget, scholarship commitments, and travel if it were to consider a move, the team's performance has raised speculation about a possible transition to Division I. No official plans for a change in division have been announced, but the team's sustained level of success remains a central point of discussion for the program.
