The 2025 Ferris State Bulldogs football team was an American football team that represented Ferris State University as a member of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) during the 2025 NCAA Division II football season. They were led by 14th-year head coach Tony Annese and played home games at Top Taggart Field in Big Rapids, Michigan.
The Bulldogs went undefeated with a 16âÂÂ0 record, winning their second straight and fourth overall championship by defeating Harding 42âÂÂ21 in the NCAA Division II national championship game. The Bulldogs were ranked no. 1 each week in both the AFCA Poll and the D2Football.com Poll throughout the season and became the first NCAA Division II team to finish 16âÂÂ0 in modern college football.
The team set an NCAA and program record by scoring 844 points in a single season (an average of 52.75 points per game), besting the previous mark by Pittsburg State in 2004. With the championship, Ferris State becomes just the second Division II school to win four titles in five years, equaling rival Grand Valley State. The championship also places the Bulldogs in a tie for second place for most Division II titles (with Grand Valley State and Valdosta State). The national championship game marked the team's 30th consecutive win and the most wins in a season in school history.
In the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference preseason media poll released on August 13, 2025, Ferris State was projected to finish first in the conference.
