College football: No. 2 UW-Whitewater hopes to stick the landing on undefeated regular season this weekend at UW-Eau Claire
EAU CLAIRE — The UW-Whitewater football team has already put together a season to remember in 2026. The Warhawks (9-0, 6-0 WIAC) took down UW- Platteville last weekend on the road, leapfrogging the Pioneers in the rankings to be No. 2 in all of Division 3 football while also clinching a share of the 2026 WIAC regular season championship. This Saturday marks the final game of the 2026 regular season for UWW, and the Warhawks could check the box on numerous other accomplishments with a victory on the road at UW-Eau Claire (6-3, 3-3 WIAC). First and most notably, the Warhawks, with a win or a Platteville loss to UW-La Crosse, would capture the outright WIAC title. Additionally, UW-Whitewater would finish the regular season with an undefeated record with a win over the Blugolds. The last time either of those things happened for the Warhawks was in 2021. The Warhawks are also gunning for a top seed for the NCAA Division 3 playoffs, something that could help ensure home field advantage for UW-Whitewater up until the Stagg Bowl. While it’s easy to get wrapped up in the superlatives of a potential Warhawk victory on Saturday, UWW will still have to
