Owls ranked in Top 25 for second straight year

One season after being ranked for the first time since 1979, the football team is back in the Top 25 polls.

After Saturday’s win against Navy in the American Athletic Conference championship game, the Owls moved to No. 23 in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll, their first national ranking this season. Temple also finished No. 24 in the USA Today Coaches Poll and the College Football Playoff Rankings.

This is the first time Temple has been ranked in back-to-back seasons. Temple has only been ranked in five of its 69 seasons at the Division I level.
